FRANKLINTON--Fonnie Thalbert "Doot-sie" Harris Jr., 85, died Thursday, Sept. 25, 2014. The family will receive friends at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28, at Franklinton Baptist Church. A graveside service will be held following the visitation at 4 p.m. at Fairview Cemetery in Franklinton, with the Rev. David Averette officiating.
LOUISBURG -- Louisburg was concerned about Southern Vance's big-play capabilities heading into Friday's non-league football contest -- even though the Runnin' Raiders entered the event with a winless record. But the Warriors came up with some huge plays of their own, including a key third-quarter touchdown pass from Malik Sidibeh to Ron Roberson that helped squelch some of the momentum Southern Vance had acquired.
BUNN -- After allowing a combined 87 points over their past two outings, the Bunn Wildcats weren't in a generous mood during Friday's non-conference football showdown against Northampton County. Instead, the Wildcats didn't allow the Jaguars to reach the end zone during a 70-0 rout at the BHS Football Field. Bunn, which will be off this coming week in preparation of its Northern Carolina Conference opener at Southern Vance on Oct. 10, is now 4-2 on the season.
STEM -- With two high-powered offenses on display, it was expected that points could be plentiful during Friday's non-conference gridiron meeting between Franklinton and host Granville Central. That's exactly what happened as FHS remained undefeated with a 51-42 victory over the Panthers. Franklinton is 5-0 heading into this coming Friday's expected challenge on the road against Corinth Holders.
