FRANKLINTON -- David Howle's 199th career victory as Bunn High School's football coach was one to remember. Not only were the visiting Wildcats able to defeat backyard rival Franklinton by a 47-19 margin, they were also to remain in the top spot in the Northern Carolina Conference heading into the final week of the regular season. Bunn is now 8-2 overall and 4-0 in the NCC, and Howle can achieve a milestone 200th triumph next Friday at home against Warren County.
LOUISBURG -- Homecoming wasn't the only reason to celebrate Friday at Louisburg High School. After nine frustrating games -- and several near-misses -- the Warriors earned the first football victory of the season by stopping Northwest Halifax by a 63-26 total in Tar-Roanoke Athletic Conference action at Patterson Field. It was also the initial head coaching triumph for LHS' Dontae Lassiter. His club is now 1-9 overall and 1-3 in the TRAC heading into next Friday's regular season finale on the road against Weldon.
