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
