LOUISBURG -- Every stroke counted Monday during the season-opening prep golf matchup between Franklin County rivals Louisburg and Franklinton.
Literally.
Louisburg, despite competing without No. 1 player Kai Lucas (out with an illness), was able to edge FHS by a 185-186 margin in the first match of the spring schedule for both squads.

BUNN - Curious -- and wildly euphoric -- how the events of a split second can determine the path of a game, a career and nearly 30 years of dedication to a common cause.David Howle arrived in Bunn in the 1980's with a single mission -- to build the school's football program into one of the state's best.Howle succeeded on many aspects of that quest, with the only exception being the fact that the Wildcats have never played in a state championship game.

The need just continues to grow -- and in our lukewarm economy, children are getting hit hardest of all.And they are the least capable of responding to and of minimizing the challenges they face.All that is pretty obvious and it's worth noting that one of Franklin County's premier volunteer efforts -- Happy Camper -- is in need of help.Happy Camper is the brainchild of Louisburg attorney Charles Davis who created it back in the early 1990s as a way to reach out to children who were in need of a helping hand.
