FRANKLINTON -- Stopping Tarboro High School's high-powered T-formation offense has proven to be a daunting task for area football teams through the years as the Vikings have racked up their share of state championships. But when Tarboro is also able to pick up a trio of special teams touchdowns, chances are it's going to be a long night for the Vikings' opponent. Coming off a pair of strong home victories, the Franklinton Red Rams had high hopes entering Friday's contest against tradition-rich Tarboro at the FHS Football Field.
OXFORD -- Louisburg High School's first victory of the 2016 football season was one to remember as the Warriors won a back-and-forth shootout with host Oxford Webb on Friday night. Louisburg running back Tyre Davis had a big night as the Warriors earned a 48-40 triumph at Oxford Webb. Louisburg, which was coming off a bye week, improved to 1-2 overall with the hard-fought contest.
HENDERSON -- Northern Vance threw a bit of a scare into Bunn by scoring the first touchdown of Friday's non-conference football showdown. But the Wildcats quickly regained their composure and were dominant the rest of the way en route to securing a 47-7 road victory at the NVHS Field. Bunn broke a one-game losing skid with the convincing triumph and, in the process, improved to 3-1 overall on the campaign. It didn't take long for the Wildcats to respond to Northern Vance's (1-3) early score.
