3rd time a charm for LHS
BUNN -- Louisburg had lost by a combined 57 points during its previous two meetings against Bunn this season -- a fact that didn’t bode well for Saturday’s girls basketball rematch at the Bunn Dome.

But LHS, in almost stunning fashion, scored 14 of the contest’s first 16 points and went on to stun the Ladycats by a 55-37 margin in a matchup that was never close.

LC no match for Cape Fear
LOUISBURG -- Little man Lamar Cross -- and the rest of his Cape Fear teammates -- proved to be big trouble last Saturday for the Louisburg College Hurricanes in a key Region X men’s basketball matchup.

Cross, who is only 5-foot-8, poured in 24 points to help the Sea Wolves defeat the Hurricanes 84-65.

The diminutive Cross stood especially tall in the first half, delivering 21 points, including five trifecats, to send Cape Fear to a 51-35 advantage over the stunned Hurricanes.
