FRANKLINTON -- Clark Harrell’s teachings have started to pay off at Franklinton -- and not just on the varsity level.
In addition to the varsity squad reaching the Class 2-A State Football Playoffs for the second consecutive season, the FHS JV contingent also enjoyed an oustanding campaign.
Franklinton, with Trent Sanders serving as head coach, went 6-3 overall and 5-1 in the Northern Carolina Conference. That put the Red Rams into a first-place tie with Bunn for league supremacy.
DANVILLE, VA. -- For the second time in program history, the Battling Bishops of North Carolina Wesleyan can call themselves USA South Conference Football Champions.

FAIRMONT -- The Fairmont Golden Tornadoes rallied with a late 21-yard touchdown pass from Demetrius Washington to Doug Blue with less than one minute remaining on Friday to advance to the second round of the Class 2-A State Football Playoffs by defeating Franklinton 22-14.
Franklinton’s defense held the Golden Tornadoes to a three-and-out late in the fourth, but Fairmont’s defense answered right back as they forced a punt and would have started in Red Rams territory.

FRANKLINTON -- So why should things be any different now?
All season long, Louisburg has tangled with bigger teams -- and almost always managed to come away with a victory.
The trend continued Friday night on the Warriors’ biggest stage of the campaign -- the first round of the Class 2-A State Football Playoffs.

BUNN -- Allowing a touchdown just before halftime can often be a demoralizing fate for a high school football team -- especially during a close game.
But it only seemed to embolden the Bunn Wildcats during Friday’s home showdown against Richlands in the first round of the Class 2-A State Playoffs.
Robin Faulkner, principal of Bunn High School, has announced the Honor Roll for the 2009/2010 first six-weeks grading period.
To be named to the A Honor Roll, a student must make no grade lower than 93. To be named to the A-B Honor Roll, a student must make no grade lower than 85.

Tropical Storm Ida knocked down trees, cut power, caused floods and sewage spills as its rain washed through Franklin County much of this week.

Wars have raged from the time this country was founded.
And they continue through today, said Charles Smith, assistant secretary for the state Division of Veterans Affairs.
And just as long, this country has supported those who fought and died defending freedoms, both foreign and domestic.
Wednesday was another opportunity to do so in honor of Veterans Day.

A Middlesex pair was slated to appear in court Friday after investigators say the duo went on a multi-county crime spree, stealing jewelry from as many as 20 houses, including a handful of homes in Franklin County.

YOUNGSVILLE — The town’s board of commissioners approved a variance request that will permit the expansion of the Youngsville Rescue squad building.
The town’s zoning requires a 30-foot setback from the road, however, the current building at 105 N.W. Railroad Street was built before the town’s zoning took effect and is only 25 feet from the road.
Residents will get a chance to determine on Monday night whether commissioners pony up $250,000 to bring business and industry to Franklin County.
The state announced earlier this month that it would provide a $250,000 grant through its One North Carolina Fund to bring Palziv’s North America headquarters to the HON building on N.C. 56.

The United Way of Franklin County began a food drive on Saturday, looking for a way to give back now and into the future.
United Way Executive Director Kathy Harrelson said the office routinely gets three kinds of calls — folks looking for help with emergency housing, utility bills and food.
Emergency housing and utility bill assistance requires extensive resources, but the United Way figures it can rally the community quickly to restock local food pantries in time for the holidays.

These days, whether it’s around the dinner table, the golf course or a casual conversation in the parking lot, the topic of the nation’s spending spree and the effect it is having on the national debt is a matter for political comment.
No matter whether you’re a conservative, a liberal or fall somewhere in between the two, the deficit -- long ignored and almost forgotten -- has again become the topic of the day.
Normally all that talk about the deficit is merely just that, talk.
GOOD MORNING: I don’t know about you, but, although we needed the rain, I am one who will be glad to see a return to clear skies and sunshine for a change.
Although we have received something like 3.3 inches of badly needed rain, I have yet to note any significant rise in the level of the small streams out my way, which tells you something about how dry it has been, but my next-door neighbor and I did experience a power outage sometime after midnight Tuesday that had my standby generator humming until a little after 8 a.m. Wednesday morning.
A brisk autumn breeze sent ripples across the multiple ponds at the Harris Farm out in my neighborhood last Saturday afternoon and, despite the chill, it was a day that not only rekindled memories but also underscored something many of our youngsters are missing these days.
The event was billed as a “fishing tournament” that was designed to raise a little money for the Franklin County Community Fund which supports non-profit organizations in Franklin County.
But, for the moment, forget that detail.

According to a report by Dep. Joel Anderson, he responded to a disturbance call at a home on Arnold Road.
When he arrived, he spoke with Teri Lynn Clark, 43, who had bruises on her face and neck.
Clark told authorities that Henry Cole Allen, 38, flipped out for no reason.
