Last Friday, the two schools added another chapter to their storied rivalry that dates back more than three decades when they faced off during the second game of the 2016 season. Going into the match up Carver, who is a mem ber of the Western Piedmont 2-A Conference, was looking for their first victory of the season after being handled by Greensboro's Dudley High School 48-0 in the season opener. Parkland, who plays in the Central Piedmont 4-A Conference, was looking to improve to 2-0 after picking up a 36 12 victory over Northeast Guilford in their opener on Friday, Aug. 19. Early into the contest, the Mustangs looked to be on their way to an easy vic tory. After forcing Carver to punt on their opening pos session, Parkland wide receiver Kyndel Dean turned a short pass from quarterback Tyeous Sharpe into a 60-yard touchdown on their second play on offense, pushing his team ahead 6-0 following a failed extra point try. The Yellow Jackets would not go down without a fight. After forcing a Mustang turnover, Carver running back Josh Transou found the end-zone on a seven-yard run, the first touchdown of the season for the Yellow Jackets. Not to be outdone, Sharpe con nected with Dean again for a touchdown. This time Dean made a jaw-dropping leaping grab over a Carver defender in the back of the end-zone. Carver would add another touchdown in the second quarter to take a 14 13 lead going into halftime. In the second half, the Yellow Jackets were plagued by a number of penalties that were too much to overcome.
