IS) matchup. North Surry is hoping to continue their winning ways as they defeated Mt. Airy last week bringing their record to 3-1. Atkins is seeking their first victory of the year. Camels JV head coach David Hamlin said he thinks his team has played well for the most part and their mistakes have hurt them but they are fixabk. When speaking about tonight's game, he said, "I , think that they will com pete for the most part. We have a lot of first time play ers and they listen very well and continue to get an understanding" North Surry head coach Tyler Hyatt has been impressed with the tenacity of his players and says his team is playing the best football of the season right now. He says their per formance against Mt. Airy, their county rival, was a very big and will set them up nicely for conference Hyatt Hamlin play. "The main thing is we want to build off of our last game. If we can put four quarters together I think that we can be a strong team," says Hyatt. "I don't. know what Atkins has coming back but last year was a nail biter and I expect a good game. We have to continue to build off of our last game and I was pretty pldased with their play." Hyatt says there are a few players that have played very well this year and made an impact on the team. Quarterback Chase Swartz, running back Chandler Hawks, offensive lineman Noah Holder and outside linebacker Kaleb Hunter are just a few play ers he spoke about. Atkins has only played one game thus far this sea son and the game against Glenn High will be made up on Oct. 26. Hamlin says that alignments, responsi bilities and knowing the plays are areas of improve ment for his team. He said game .experience will even tually bring that to them.

' tvtfh' ~ jv. Parkland JV routs under manned Walkertown, 57-6 BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE : j | ' The Parkland Mustangs were clicking on all cylinders in all three phases of the game last Thursday against Walkertown. They were able to put points on the board offensively, defensively and with special teams on route to a 57-6 victory against the Wolfjpack. The Mustangs scored early and often throughout Thursday's matchup with Walkertown. Parkland was able to force Walkertown into a three and out on their first possession and then proceeded to march the ball right down the field scoring on a touch down pass from quarterback Tyrone Barber to wide receiver Jesus DeLeon. Less than two minutes later, the Mustangs intercepted the Wolfipack pass and Denoris Wardlow returned it for another Mustang touchdown. The Mustangs never looked back. The Mustangs were able to run the ball at will throughout the game, with running backs Zyheir Dillard and TYajon Stevenson. Dillard, who scored two touchdowns, looked like a man among boys at times during the game. Parkland JV head coach Brendan Atwater said Dillard had been dealing with an injured ankle and wanted to give him some work on Thursday. He said he was pleased with his team's overall performance but knows they have work to do offensively. "Initially I think we came out and executed. We have work to do on offense but at the end of the day my defense is sound," said Atwater. "We wanted to make our run game a little bit stronger. We can air the ball out pretty good, but it's the run that kills them.
