With the season coming
to a close, Mineral Springs
and Hanes middle schools
looked to end the year on a
high note. Mineral Springs
won the game with a late
second-half goal and held
on late to win the game 1-0.
The Bulldogs started
off the game aggressively
getting off multiple shots
on goal but the Hanes
goalie was up to the task
and stopped them all. With
the Dragon goalie out of
position in the middle of
the first half, William
Uraga Of Mineral Springs
had a great opportunity to
put his team on the board
first but missed the shot
wide left.
For the rest of the half,
both teams went back and

fully. Hanes had a golden
opportunity to take the lead
right before the whistle but
missed high.
Head coach Ralph
Pearson said after a rough
season he was happy that
his team played well and
his team gave everything
they had.
'Today I told my team
we have nothing else to
lose," said Pearson. "I told
them we have to just go out
play hard and let the final
whistle determine the out
come."
After the break, the
Dragons were first to have
a good chance at breaking
the 0-0 tie but once again
the shot went awry. Hanes
forward Cedric Webster
had a breakaway chance at
goal but it was saved by the

N. Forsyth
Asheboro
in overtime

THE CHRONICLE
The Vikings of North Forsyth seemed
to have a victory in hand during the final
minutes of their game against Asheboro.
With a six point lead with under three
minutes on the clock they only had to stop
the Blue Comets offense one last time to
achieve victory. Asheboro not only tied
the game with seconds left on the clock
they won the game outright after going
into overtime.
Asheboro received the opening kickoff
and initially was driving deep into Viking
territory until quarterback Jamel Carl was
intercepted by comerback Semaj Transou.
North Forsyth puts together a productive
drive of their own all the way into the Blue
Comet redzone. Viking quarterback
Richard Ryce connected with Brandon
Davis put North Forsyth up 6-0.
The Blue Comets came right back on
their next possession and scored a touch
down of their own. Carl atoned for his
earlier interception and hit his receiver
down the sideline for the tying score.
North Forsyth looked to go back on
top later in the quarter as they drove deep
into Blue Comet territory once again but
this time failed to convert. With their
offense still clicking, Asheboro attempted
to put points on the board before the half
but was intercepted once again.
As the end of the Brst half neared the
Vikings had a golden opportunity to take
the lead back. An intentional grounding
call pulled them out of the red zone and

Glenn head coach Stephen Herring says they
have been getting better offensively even though
their record may not reflect as such.
"We have gotten little bit better every game but
we just need to make sure we stop shooting our
selves in the foot offensively," Herring said. "We
have to put some points up on the board to help our
defense out because our defense has been pretty con
sistent and steady throughout."
