CLASSIC RIVALRY
Mustangs hold
on to defeat
Yellow Jackets
Parkland earns
21-20 victory
over rival Carver
to improve to 2-0
BY TEVIN STINSON
THE CHRONICLE
When discussing high
school football rivalries in
Winston-Salem, there
aren't many which live up
to the hype of Carver
Parkland. 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.

Reynolds prevails after surviving
early punch from East Forsyth
BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY
THE CHRONICLE
When a team receives the opening kickoff and takes it
right down the field and scores on their first possession, it
can demoralize the opposing team. But not Reynolds
High. East Forsyth landed the first blow in Thursday's
match-up, but Reynolds did not let that deter them from
their game plan.
After taking a six to nothing lead early in the first
24-14
v r ?' ,:<-v ? .. S
quarter, East Forsyth's defense stepped on the field and
stuffed the running game of Reynolds early and ended
their first drive with a sack from Miles Brinson. The
Eagles' offense took the field and methodically drove the
ball right back into Reynolds' territory with a long run
from running back Chris Chaplen III and a clutch fourth
down reception from AJ Williams that gave them first and
goal.
Looking to take full control early in the game. East
Forsyth turned to the running game to give them a two
score lead, but fumbles on the two-yard line gave posses
sion back to the Demons.

Church uses sports to unite its congregation
BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY
THE CHRONICLE
When a church can
worship, pray and fellow
ship together each Sunday,
it strengthens the entire
congregation. Building on
those principles, Christ
Cathedral Church of
Deliverance has taken their
fellowship beyond the
walls of the church by
holding "Vision Night Out"
at the Carl H. Russell
Community Center.
The idea for the event

came to church pastor
Bishop Freddie B.
Marshall earlier this year
and the first night out fel

months ago. TTie church
gets together once a month,
usually on the first or last
Tuesday of the month. He
wanted to use this event as
a way to reach out to the
community around Carver
School Road. He connect
ed with Ben Piggot and
Brian Leak of Carl

Russell and the event took
off from there.
"Our vision is to touch
the community and specifi
cally the families," said
Marshall. "This is an
opportunity for those kids

about community, so our
