Vikings fall 58-21 to Royals in regular-season finale

DANBURY — Holden Shelton threw for 289 yards and three touchdowns, but North Stokes couldn’t keep pace with The College Prep & Leadership Academy’s ground game in a 58-21 loss Friday night in the regular-season finale for both teams. The Vikings finished the regular season 0-10 overall and 0-6 in the Greater Triad 1A/2A Conference. The Royals improved to 3-7 and 2-4. North Stokes, the No. 11 seed in the NCHSAA 1A playoffs, will travel to No. 6 seed South Davidson on Nov. 6 in the first round. South Davidson scored a late touchdown and beat the Vikings 28-22 in conference play two weeks ago. The Royals scored on North Stokes’ first possession when Karmari Timms returned a Shelton interception 69 yards for a touchdown with 9:01 left in the first quarter, and Braylon Bobbitt added a 2-point run. Willie Baker’s 1-yard run later in the quarter made it 14-0. College Prep scored 16 more in the second quarter on a 21-yard Baker run and a 36-yard Bobbitt run, both followed by 2-point conversions. North Stokes answered just before halftime, when Shelton hit Dalton Whitener for a 15-yard touchdown with 15 seconds left and Lantz Fagg kicked the extra point.

South Stokes' second-half push falls short in 46-18 loss to Winston-Salem Prep

WALNUT COVE — Momentum changed hands several times Friday night, and Winston-Salem Preparatory Academy came out on the right side of the biggest swings to beat South Stokes 46-18 in the regular-season finale for both teams. The Phoenix (6-4, 5-1 Greater Triad 1A/2A Conference) finished second in the conference. The Sauras (5-5, 3-3) finished tied for third. South Stokes struck first when Luke Amos hit Isaac Mitchell for a 50-yard touchdown with 6:17 left in the first quarter. The Sauras forced a punt, but fumbled on the first play, and Carl Richburg returned it 28 yards for a touchdown. Jamari Wilson’s two-point run put Prep ahead 8-6, a swing that took 56 seconds. The next one hurt more. On the Sauras’ next possession, Amos completed a pass to Cameron Bratton for a first down past midfield. Two personal fouls then backed South Stokes up to the 16-yard line, facing second-and-40. The Sauras had a hard time recovering from the turn of events as the Phoenix scored three more times before halftime, on touchdown passes from Tim Smith to Jeremiah Hall of 35 and 36 yards and a 5-yard run by Dawayne Pone. Each came with a two-point conversion, and Prep
