Chargers fall to Red Raiders By Eliot Duke HIGH POINT – Again, for the Northwood Chargers it was too little too late. For the second straight game, the Chargers fell behind early, only to make a mad dash late in the fourth quarter. For the second straight game, it didn’t work. After falling behind by over 20 points to High Point Andrews, NW tried to fight back but simply had too big a hill to climb, losing to the Red Raiders, 74-64. Playing through a brutal stretch of four games in seven days, with three on the road against Mid-State 2A rivals, the Chargers are beginning to show the effects. "We didn’t want to have to play man-to-man against them, but we sort of had to," said NW coach Rich Rookey. "We have a couple of injuries that slowed us down a lot."

Trask bounces Bears in playoffs By Don Beane HAMPSTEAD – Despite a valiant effort here on Tuesday night, the season ended for the Chatham Central wrestling team in the second round of the 1A Dual Team state playoffs. The Bears opened the night with an exciting 38-36 decision over host Topsail before falling 44-32 to Trask in the nightcap. With the loss, Central closes the season at 15-6, and now focuses on the upcoming 1A/2A Midwest Regional hosted by Ledford this weekend.

The match was nip and tuck before Central rolled off a 22-0 run to seemingly take total control with a 34-12 advantage.
