Oh What A Night

This Summer I committed two Friday nights this fall to high school football.  I was at  Beddingfield for WHIG-TV covering Hunt at Beddingfield.  It was
also the first conference game of the year for Campbell volleyball as they traveled to High Point.  Campbell has a 15 game conference Losing streak dating back to the last conference game in 2011 and all 14 games last season.  Tonight in five  sets Campbell  is in first place in the Big South as they beat  High Point 15-10. So far  season Campbell has won all six of their five set matches and stand 10-7 on the season.

Unbeaten Triton travel to Rocky Mount and a barn burner  as Rocky Mount's early fumble gave Triton an early 7-0 lead.  Rocky Mount two plays tie the score on a Smith to Kearney 40 yard pass. smith and Kearney teamed up in the second quarter to give the Gryphons a 14-7 lead but Triton  got an 81 Yard run on a reverse to tie.  Micah Varnell gave the Gryphons a  17-14 halftime lead.

Neither side scored  in the third quarter but with 8:17 to play Triton scored to take the lead  21-17.   Triton who tried on side kicks all night made one work and had the ball but the gryphons held for one last shot.  The Gryphons score on a read option with under three minutes to play. Triton Fumbles to the Gryphons give the ball up with 58 seconds to play but Broderick Caudle puts a PPP topper on this one with an int.  Gryphons 24-21.

The cross county rivalry at Beddingfield saw two teams slug it out  at Beddingfield scored first but the extra point hit the left post to lead 6-0.  Hunt drove down to lead at the half. 7-6.  Beddingfield out slugged Hunt with a huge fourth quarter at they drove the ball the field to take a 12-7 lead and add a field goal l5-7 with 1:58 to  play but with 12 seconds to play Hunt hits a 68 yard pass to cut the lead to. 15-13 and on the 2 point try Beddingfield is offside to make the 2 pointer just a yard in a half away.   Beddingfield comes up with the defensive play and makes a tackle in the back field and win 15-13.
