Month: October 2019

The Gravelly Hill Grizzlies men’s soccer team had a thrilling, last minute win over A.L. Stanback last week.

Konner Johnson scored as the Grizzlies rallied to defeat the Bulldogs 3-2, coming back from a 2-0 deficit. It was Johnson’s second goal of the game. Gravelly leads the Orange-Person Athletic Conference Southern Division by two games with two games to play entering the final week of the regular season.

Carson Condon scored the opening two goals for the Grizzlies. Ben Miller earned the victory in net. On Tuesday, Gravelly Hill faces Northern Middle School. If the Grizzlies win, they advance to the OPAC Championship match on October 29.

Football: Gravelly Hill defeated McDougale Middle School 28-24 to earn its second win of the season on Thursday. Malachi Poole, Tyler Fields, Derek Yanko and Christian Moore all scored touchdowns for the Grizzlies.

Gravelly Hill ends its season on Wednesday with a road trip to Culbreth.

Well, this week in ACC football was a complete derpfest as nobody played well and that led to a lot of upsets, as well as for everybody in the ACC Coastal to have a transitive property win over everybody else in the division. Essentially, everybody is bad.

Pitt

Congratulations Pitt, you are the latest team to take advantage of Syracuse’s sheer incompetence offensively. The Pitt secondary showed some struggles with some of the Orange’s big time receivers, but their pass rush going up against the worst offensive line in college football was ultimately enough for a 27-20 Panthers victory.

Clemson

Travis Etienne is the best running back in college football. His 192 yards on 14 carries pretty much sums up the day that the Tigers had offensively. Going in to Louisville is never easy, but Clemson certainly made it look so in their 45-10 drubbing of the Cardinals.

Boston College

It’s not an NC State-Boston College game if the Eagles don’t suddenly play their best game of the season. AJ Dillon was a beast as usual, and the BC defense took advantage of NC State’s QBs going a combined 19/43 through the air. The Eagles won 45-24 and NC State just continues to look bad.

Georgia Tech

Folks, Georgia Tech actually won a football game. 28-21 in OT over Miami. Somehow managing to actually score 28 points against what I thought was a decent Miami defense. Jordan Mason had a great game on the ground and punter Pressly Harvin threw for a 41 yard touchdown on a fake kick. Gimmick plays like that are how bad teams win football games, and that’s exactly what the Yellow Jackets did.

Virginia Tech

Virginia Tech did just enough to not screw up against North Carolina in the 6OT game at Lane Stadium. With Hendon Hooker injured, and Ryan Willis bad, the Hokies went to 3rd stringer Quincy Patterson at QB in the 3rd quarter. Patterson didn’t show much as a passer, but what he could do was run the ball right down North Carolina’s throat. That and some help from some missed field goals by the Tar Heels leads to VT winning 43-41, and leaves me thinking that VT might actually be good as they improve to 5-2.

Virginia

Bryce Perkins seemed to have a similar approach at QB on Saturday as Virginia Tech’s Quincy Patterson. Perkins couldn’t do anything through the air, so he decided he would just run for 3 touchdowns instead, leading the way in the Hoos 48-14 domination of Duke. It was a nice bounceback for UVa after a bad loss at Miami, and the Cavaliers still have just as much a chance at winning the coastal as anyone not named Miami or Georgia Tech.

Wake Forest

The Deacs did just enough to beat Florida State in Winston-Salem, as has been the story for Dave Clawson’s bunch all season. A 22-20 victory over the Seminoles should look better than it does, but Wake scoring 15 of those on field goals makes me worry about the rest of their season. Nonetheless, Wake regains their spot is the clear number 2 team in the conference behind Clemson.

Syracuse

Syracuse really only has one problem. However, that problem is having the worst offensive line in the country. The Orange have allowed 35 sacks so far this season and allowed 9 in the 27-20 loss to Pitt. Unless that reverses in the coming weeks for Syracuse, it’s not going to get any better for them.

Louisville

I’m sorry that you guys were stuck playing Clemson this week, you lost 45-10 and that’s okay. Just reset and move on to the next one and you’ll be alright Louisville.

NC State

“Hey, coach Doeren, when are you going to start Devin Leary.” I’m sure this has been said by every State fan on the planet, but Leary only went 15-33 passing. I realize that he threw for 3 touchdowns, but that kind of completion percentage, if sustained, is not going to lead to many good results. Having 2 quarterbacks really means that you have no quarterbacks, and when your defense surrenders 45 points to a team almost exclusively running the ball, it really doesn’t matter who plays QB. The Pack lost 45-24, and should really just start prepping for North Carolina now. We all know it’s the only game they care about at this point in what has been a complete failure of a season for the Wolfpack thus far.

Miami

Congratulations Miami! You are now the worst team in the ACC after a 28-21 loss to Georgia Tech! How does it feel? You don’t have a QB, your defense isn’t what it was, and I hope you’re enjoying Manny Diaz. This is what happens when you get rid of Mark Richt. Richt was the best coach at Miami since Butch Davis and Miami is paying the price for getting rid of him.

North Carolina

When Carolina beat VT in Frank Beamer’s last game at Lane, they must have made a deal to never win there again. The Heels did enough to win but some bad breaks and questionable play calling near the end by OC Phil Longo led to VT escaping with a 43-41 win in overtime. Tar Heel fans really have no reason to worry about the rest of the season, as their toughest games are now all behind them, but this one stings. I fully expect the Heels to play their best football down the stretch in these last 5 games.

Duke

Quentin Harris, get better. That’s 2 weeks in a row that Harris has been the reason for a Duke loss. I have said multiple times that Duke will go as far as Harris can take them, and to this point, that seems like it won’t be very far. Virginia is good, but not beat Duke 48-14 good.

Florida State

Willie Taggart can go ahead and start packing his bags. Cam Akers is the only player on this team worth watching and the rest of the offense is just incompetent. They really lost 22-20 to Wake Forest when their defense forced 5 field goals instead of touchdowns and the offense never took advantage. The talent is there, the coaching is not for the Seminoles.

My middle school baseball coach always told me, “Everyone loves a winner” or “Everyone at the game has a good time when you’re winning”.

Coach, you got that right.

If you came to last Friday night’s varsity football game at Cedar Ridge Stadium, a good time was had by all during the Red Wolves’ 20-19 victory over Chapel Hill – especially when you break a winless drought of 785 days.

I seriously hate talking about myself, but have to explain.

During the game, outside of the normal announcements of plays, yardage, ball spot, penalties, etc. – I have incorporated something that is becoming a new trend. In the vast collection of music files on my laptop, I also have a batch of …. Sound Effects.

What!? Sound effects? Seriously!? – ABSOLUTELY! I’m not playing them all game long, just a few clips here and there for fun, and even some drama. With many of these clips – My inner pro wrestling fan comes out.

To start each game, I go back to circa 1997 when the faction known as the nWo (or New World Order) Wolfpac would come out to the song, “Don’t Turn Your Back on the Wolfpac”.

To the pure football fans, I’m certain you’re thinking I’m turning the game into a circus. But in reality, it’s something I’ve embraced to make the game more fun. The response I got from the Red Wolf faithful is that they’re embracing it too. For example, when Isiah McCambry emphatically charges 15 yards for a first down or Will Berger completes a long pass to a receiver to acquire a first down, or any play that results in a first down, cue up the 16-time World Heavyweight Champion, “Nature Boy” Ric Flair and his signature cry of “WHOO!!!”

I procured this simple two-second clip, and it’s caught on. Every time Cedar Ridge tallies a first down, I’ll strike up “Naitch”. The great thing about this, the Red Wolf fans respond with their own rendition of “WHOO!!!!” every time I cue up a trio of Ric Flairs. Then again, it caught on with the opposing fans too. Last season during the JV game and in this year’s varsity game against Chapel Hill, the Tiger fans would mock the Wolf Pack from their section by returning the Ric Flairs in their condescending way.

Afterwards, I’ll play something that they’re not expecting. “Oh YEAH!” I’ve played another legend in “Macho Man” Randy Savage; cartoon legend Daffy Duck with his traditional laugh; and even went to hip-hop legend Flavor Flav and his traditional “Yeah, Boyee!!” For big time rushes, you may even hear another hall of famer in Michael Hegstrand (you know him better as Road Warrior Hawk) in his trademark saying, “What a Rush!”, or the Roadrunner “MEEP MEEP”.

Oddly enough, the Pack will say these same things in response.

For the dramatic effect, I use a clip that makes Jeff Hamlin happy. The AC/DC tenor bell. That’s right, the big BONG you hear at the beginning of “Hell’s Bells” is my go to sound when rallying up the crowd on 3rd and 4th down defensive plays. This is reminiscent of 3rd & 4th down plays at UNC and Appalachian State that uses the same sound.

When a penalty flag appears upon a play, and no one knows who it’s against, I’ll play the familiar “Doink Doink” that’s synonymous with the Law & Order franchise. It definitely gets people’s attention as to who’s moving forward or backwards.

But when the Red Wolves cross into the end zone for a touchdown or conversion, kick a successful field goal, score a safety, or win the game, I’ll sound the horn. This comes from the NHL’s Arizona Coyotes, whose goal horn is tied into the late Warren Zevon’s hit song, “Werewolves of London”.

Again, I’m not trying to make sporting events into farces, but sporting events were made to be fun. All that I’m trying to do is add to a very fun atmosphere. When growing up in Marion and attending games at McDowell, we didn’t have these effects. Despite very vocal, if not rabid, fans, we would create our own effects and traditions.

Which reminds me. If you’ve come to volleyball matches inside Cedar Ridge Arena, you may have heard some of the aforementioned sounds. The students have also become very extemporaneous in their enthusiasm as it has assisted the Lady Wolves to their best season since 2015. It all started with a Cedar Ridge student shouting “OH YEAH!” (In similarity to the Kool-Aid Man), when an opposing team would serve or receive a serve.

It’s been fun this season on New Grady Brown School Drive, and I’m certain more fun is coming down the road. I for one am glad to come along for the rid

Last week in Hillsborough, something just felt different. Now, that sounds trite and impossible to conceptualize, but it was true – and last week, with a well-stocked and well-dressed Homecoming crowd on hand, Cedar Ridge turned that magical feeling into its first varsity win in close to 800 days. This week in Chapel Hill, everything once again just felt a little different – but the Red Wolves quickly realized that, this time around, different meant bad. 

With that mystical Homecoming magic now working against them, Cedar Ridge (1-7, 1-3 Big 8) went three-and-out on its first four drives, threw four interceptions, had two touchdowns wiped out due to penalties, and were simply outplayed by an East Chapel Hill (1-7, 1-3) team that hadn’t won at the varsity level in almost exactly a year. The Wildcats keyed in on the Red Wolves’ offensive gameplan early, and, from there, all it took was a few mistakes from the visitors and a few big plans from the hosts to help the Wildcats to a comprehensive 33-12 victory that snapped a ten-game losing streak dating back to October 12 of last year. 

A week ago, the Tigers and the Red Wolves were so methodical and successful moving the ball that each team had one possession in the first quarter and just three full possessions in the first half. That wasn’t the case this week: Cedar Ridge had four possessions in the first quarter alone, but didn’t pick up a single first down. Zach Holmes only had to attempt three punts last game. He had four in the first quarter in this one. On the other side, East Chapel Hill also produced three punts and two three-and-outs in the first quarter, but the Wildcats also produced an Anton Enoch quarterback keeper for a one-yard touchdown, set up by a massive connection from Enoch to his brother Anthony a few plays before. 

From that point until halftime, the Cedar Ridge defense was rock solid. East had three possessions in the second quarter – one ended in a three-and-out, one ended in a Desi Raspberry end zone interception, and one ended the half. But in that same span, East still managed to score 13 points with their offense watching from the sidelines. 

The Red Wolves were finally able to move the ball to begin their first drive of the quarter, but only because they fooled the Wildcat defense with the same trick play that won them the game against Chapel Hill last week – a Will Berger right-side toss to Isaiah McCambry ended up a handoff to K.J. Barnes running an end-around from right to left. Last week that got the Red Wolves two points, this week it got them about 45 yards and put McCambry in position to find the end zone on another right-side toss – only for the score to be called back due to a penalty. Facing a third-and-goal from the 15, Berger opted to pass for Barnes staring at one-on-one coverage, but ZaMail Vaughn won the individual battle and came away with a pick in the end zone to stop the threat. 

The Cedar Ridge defense promptly forced a three-and-out, and a bad East punt placed the Red Wolves right around midfield. But on the very first play, Berger tried to quickly hit Barnes on the left sideline, but the pass was too high and Barnes, volleyball setter-style, tipped the ball in the air with both hands. It fell perfectly into the hands of Zaion Vaughn, who redeemed himself for his poor punt by racing the pick back 46 yards to the house. A great return of the ensuing kickoff put Cedar Ridge right back at its own 45, but just a couple of plays later new quarterback Elijah Whitaker zipped a risky pass to the right flank that his receiver never saw – but Zaion Vaughn did see it, and he returned this pass about 60 yards to the house. The next Red Wolves possession saw Barnes ejected and while Raspberry was able to help save face by picking off Enoch in the end zone, the damage was done: the Wildcats led 20-0 at the break. 

Perhaps energized by the Homecoming festivities or the prospect of holding a halftime lead, the Wildcats struck instantly in the second half, with Anton Enoch once again connecting with Anthony on a 37-yard rainbow of a touchdown pass over the defense. Nicholas DeMasi doinked the PAT in off the left upright – it really was that kind of night. Cedar Ridge punted once and went four-and-out once in the third quarter, but McCambry opened the fourth with a two-yard score to finally get the visitors on the board. Vaughan Lanier missed the extra point, but any sniff of a Cedar Ridge comeback was instantly snuffed out when Zaion Vaughn caught Ian Kavanaugh’s low kickoff right in the gullet and freight trained his way for a 75-yard kickoff return. 

ZaMail Vaughn got back in on the action by picking off Berger again on the next drive, this time off a drop by Tyler Roberts, and East gifted Cedar Ridge the ball right back with botched snap on the next play, the Red Wolves simply ran out of time. The visitors marched down the field, helped by a couple of strong runs from Aiden Seagroves, to set up another McCambry score, but that too was wiped out due to a penalty – it really was that kind of night. For some reason the clock kept running during the final few minutes, but no one made any protest. East Chapel Hill deserved the win, and it got the win, 33-12.

Cedar Ridge probably should have been the favored team against the winless Wildcats, but, in truth, the Red Wolves were playing at a disadvantage from the get-go. Now that certainly doesn’t fully excuse the result, but it does go a ways towards explaining it. With a few key contributors present but not dressed and still other starters not even present, Cedar Ridge was playing short-handed, and that severely restricted the Red Wolves’ depth on both sides. Once Barnes was tossed, Cedar Ridge became more one-dimensional on offense than they were before, and the Wildcats’ defensive front stonewalled McCambry all evening. It remains to be seen if Cedar Ridge will get any of those missing players back any time soon, but, if not, those who are there will need to regroup in a hurry: up next is conference title frontrunner Southern Durham, and the Red Wolves will have to be ready to go if they want to avoid this kind of night again.

HENDERSON–For the first time in weeks, Orange had something that they had been completely bereft of.

Momentum.

They had rallied from a 20-0 deficit after yet another awful start on the road with 17 consecutive points against Vance County. After Elliott Woods scored his third touchdown of the year early in the third quarter, Jake DeFranco picked off a pass, giving Orange a chance to take the lead in pursuit of its first road win in exactly 364 days.

Then they squandered it all away in record time.

The Panthers proceeded to get called for four personal foul/unsportsmanlike conduct penalties after Woods’ touchdown, which killed its rhythm and poise.

Samein Burwell made sure the Panthers never regained it.

After a Nigel Slanker punt, Burwell tossed to Kemarrous Jones for a 19 yard touchdown pass on 2nd-and-goal.

On the night he was crowned Homecoming King, Burwell threw for a career-high 406 yards and five touchdowns to push Vance County over Orange 40-30 at Viper Stadium.

Burwell also rushed for the Vipers’ only touchdown on the ground. His previous career high of 369 yards came against J.F. Webb on September 6. Vance County (7-1, 3-1) tied Northern Durham for second place in the Big 8 Conference. The Vipers travel to Durham County Stadium next Friday.

Orange needed a win to keep hopes of a winning season alive. Instead, a clearly frustrated Coach Van Smith walked to the team bus agitated about his defense yielding a season-high 494 yards, his team’s overall lack of discipline (102 yards in penalties) and the increasing likelihood of sitting home during the state playoffs for the second year in a row.

“We are completely not in a good mental state right now as a group of young men,” Smith said. “We started the game about as bad as you can possibly start a game.”

Orange’s Machai Holt rushed for 48 yards and two touchdowns. With Orange trailing 20-0, offensive coordinator Marty Scotten opened things up in the second quarter. That led to senior quarterback Wyatt Jones tying his season-high with ten completions for 102 yards.

Kemarrous Jones, who came into the game with 12 receptions on the year, finished with seven catches for a career-high 139 yards and two touchdowns. Late in the third quarter with the Vipers backed up to its own 10-yard line, Burwell found Jones on a slant for a 84-yard gain, stopped by a hustling Joe Kiger at the goal line. Burwell found Davonte Evans over the middle for a two-yard score moments later.

Orange, which has dropped five straight road games, got off to another bad start. The Vipers drove 79-yard on its opening drive. Burwell found William Hawkins on a 36-yard gain for Vance’s first of many trips into Panther real estate. On 3rd-and-6, Burwell found Jones for a 13-yard touchdown. Burwell and Jones hooked up again on the ensuing two-point conversion.

On the Vipers’ second drive, Phadol Jordan caught a 49-yard touchdown pass from Burwell. Kicker Khalil Kingsburgy followed with what may or may not have been an intentional onside kick, which was recovered by Vance’s Ta’Quon Lions.

The Orange defense stood on the following possession, but proceeded to fumble on its next two possessions. The second fumble took place at the Orange 9-yard line, recovered by Demarius Harris. Burwell scored on a 4th-and-goal from the 1-yard line.

Orange started its rally on a 11-play, 67-yard drive. Jones hit Holt for a 16-yard pass. On 3rd-and-4, Holt bounced off his own offensive line and stretched around left end for a touchdown.

The Panthers’ Will Torain recovered a fumble by Jordan on the next Viper possession. Slanker kicked a 31-yard field goal to narrow Vance’s lead to 20-10 at halftime.

Holt scored on a three-yard run late in the third quarter.

In the final stanza, Orange’s Joe Kiger picked off a Burwell pass. On the next play, Jones hit Omarion Lewis on a 40-yard catch-and-run touchdown.

In the final two minutes, Orange drove to the Viper red zone trailing 40-30. But Jones’ pass for Kiger was picked off by La’Maurice Bridges.

The Panthers return home to face Northwood next Thursday for Homecoming, but the sting of this loss was evident on the faces of players and coaches, alike.

Two months ago, Orange stood toe-to-toe with Eastern Alamance during a scrimmage in Mebane, where each team scored the same amount of touchdowns. Now, the Eagles are the #8 team in the state. Orange is on its way to a second straight losing season.

“We’re better than a five-win football team,” Smith said. “We just have to get out of our own way. We completely stripped the momentum away from ourself. We want to win. But we have a lot of issues with our discipline. It’s got to change.”
