BUNN -- Needing a victory to stay alive in the race for the Northern Carolina Conference regular season championship, the Bunn Wildcats delivered last Friday night.
Again and again.
Taking on a SouthernVance squad that had defeated BHS earlier in the year in Henderson, the Wildcats were dominant from the outset in posting an impressive 64-32 decision over the Runnin’ Raiders at the Bunn Dome.
Add another amazing post-career accomplishment to Russ Frazier’s impressive list of accolades.
Frazier, the former Louisburg College baseball coach who retired in the late 1990s, will be inducted into the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame during a ceremony on May 17 at the North Raleigh Hilton.
NORTH WILKESBORO -- The Louisburg College men’s basketball team snapped a four-game Region X losing streak Sunday with an 85-82 road victory at league foe Wilkes Community College.
It wasn’t easy as the Hurricanes trailed 48-35 at halftime against the Cougars. But LC would outscore the hosts 52-34 in the second half to secure the hard-fought decision.

But, for the last two months, the homeless man has been missing.

The Lady Rams have certainly developed a penchant for playing effective defense, but FHS’ problems lie on the other side of the court, where scoring continues to be a difficulty.
BUNN -- For Bunn, the challenge was simple -- win Friday, or forget about taking the Northern Carolina Conference’s boys basketball regular season championship.
