Solid defense sparks Lady Warriors
FRANKLINTON — Maybe it wasn’t the most majestic victory during the recent successful string of the Louisburg High School girls basketball program.
But most defensive-oriented decisions don’t earn style points. They just keep opponents from scoring points.

A little human error, maybe. Well, actually a lot of human error. But nothing else.
As I write this, I proudly look up to my desk, where Old Ironside has resided for three of the past four years. Ironside, our beloved old-school staple, goes to the winner of the annual College Bowl Picks between myself and Carey Johnson.
