Housefire robs family of all possessions and Cavaliers clench Division title for the first time ever

My daughter seen flames coming out of a light socket. Next thing I know, the house was full of smoke. I tried to run in and get some of my stuff and I couldn’t even make it. I couldn’t make it in there one time to get nothing. - I’ve lost everything I’ve worked for my whole life. “We knew they were explosive,” said Greer. “We wanted to keep the ball as long as we could and drive and do what we do, play the game more on our terms than their terms.” The Cavaliers set the tone from the beginning, determined not to let Power Five-recruited running back Camarion Plunkett and the rest of Martinsville’s high-powered attack hurt them. These stories and more available in this week's Carroll News.

Smith, Baker lead big-play Firebirds past Rockingham County in playoffs

BAILEY — Kee’Brion Smith and D.J. Baker both rushed for more than 100 yards and Southern Nash emerged the winner Thursday night in a battle of big plays as the Firebirds defeated Rockingham County 41-25 in the first round of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association Class 5A football playoffs. Southern Nash, the No. 15 seed, improved to 5-6 overall and will play at unbeaten No. 2 seed Northside-Jacksonville (10-0) in the second round next week. The Firebirds used their patented ground attack to amass 310 yards and five touchdowns. The No. 18 seeded Cougars (4-7) got the ball first and had the ball at their own 46 facing fourth-and-eight. They elected to pass, which was incomplete. Southern Nash, in turn, took advantage of the good field position and went those 46 yards in 10 plays, capped by the running of Kee’Brion Smith, Baker and Trey Smith. Baker’s one-yard run made it 6-0 Firebirds with 5:41 left in the first quarter after the extra point hit the right post. Rockingham County came right back to take the lead with a 71-yard drive in seven plays. Elijah Adams hit James Thomas for a 30-yard TD pass, the PAT was good,

Support urged for local caregivers

Estimates show that about 43.5 million caregivers have provided unpaid services to an adult or child in the past year — with a proverbial law-of-averages situation existing locally. It’s one Mount Airy Mayor Jon Cawley described in no-uncertain terms during an October council meeting. “Chances are if you are not a family caregiver right now, you have been, you may be at some point or you know someone who is, or you will someday need a family caregiver yourself to help you live independently at home,” Cawley said. That session included the mayor reading a city proclamation highlighting November as National Family Caregivers Month. “This is a real thing in our world,” said the mayor, whose own family has been touched by it involving care for his elderly mother-in-law who resides outside the county. North Carolina has 2.1 million family caregivers who are helping older parents, spouses and other loved ones live independently in their homes and communities — where they want to be, according to the city proclamation. Applying a state average to that involvement shows that 14,000-plus Surry County residents are looking after older parents, children with medical needs or spouses. Age-friendly city Recognition of caregivers has special

Give a Kid a Christmas program kicks off ahead of busy lineup

Hundreds of eager shoppers gather just inside Mount Airy Walmart’s entrance at 8 a.m., decorated in holiday apparel, lists and shopping carts at the ready. At a command, they take off, scattering through the aisles. Toys are in tow, bikes are in buggies. The occasional grocery shopper watches in a panic. It’s a sight to be seen — the annual shopping day for the Give A Kid a Christmas program. This year will mark the 34th anniversary of the annual program. The story of its inception is a local tale as old as time — former Sheriff Graham Atkinson, then a D.A.R.E. officer, noticed a child wearing the same clothes to school each day. After organizing resources to provide the child with a new wardrobe, the tradition has expanded to reach the needs of students across the Surry County Schools district, and has been a formalized program in Surry County for over twenty years. Raleigh Scales is treasurer of the all-volunteer board. He said fundraising efforts are already underway and will continue until shopping for students begins. This year, Dec. 8 marks the program’s shopping day where volunteers can arrive at Walmart at 8 a.m. to check off all the
