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,

Ball State women's basketball falls to High Point in mid-major battle

MUNCIE — Before the season began, Ball State women's basketball coach Brady Sallee said he expected his team to take "some punches in the face" during its tough nonconference schedule. In Ball State 's second game of the season, High Point rolled into Worthen Arena and landed a haymaker. The Cardinals fell behind early and never managed to take the lead, falling to the Panthers, 78-71, at home on Saturday, Nov. 7. "One of those shoot-yourself-in-the-foot games," Sallee said. "I feel like every time we got it to within striking distance, we just shot ourselves in the foot a little bit. Credit High Point, that's a good basketball team, well-coached, a lot of passion, and they're clearly going to win a lot of basketball games. These early season tests, we could go play a bunch of different kinds of people, and maybe it'd be fool's gold. "But man, you get punched in the mouth, and that's when you learn the most about yourself."
