Two Louisburg women will be featured on area television this weekend for their work with underprivileged children.
Betty Anne Ford and Nancy Newell received the Nancy Susan Reynolds Award late last year and the award presentations will be part of shows on Saturday and Sunday highlighting work in the community that has made a difference.
Ford and Newell began their Loaves and Fishes ministry in Raleigh more than 25 years ago as a means to help at-risk children through long-term, individualized and holistic support.

WILSON - Southern Nash was able to contain Bunn’s up-front speed for all but a few minutes of last Saturday’s showdown at The Brittany Girls Soccer Showcase. But in that short span, the Ladycats were able to rally from a two-goal deficit on their way to a 3-2 decision over the feisty Ladybirds at Gillette Park in Wilson.
LOUISBURG -- Because of the league’s overall balance this spring, seedings may not be a factor when the Region X Baseball Tournament is held in May in Spartanburg, S.C. So from a standings perspective, there won’t be a sense of urgency when Louisburg College travels to Surry Community College this weekend for a four-game region showdown on the SCC campus in Dobson.

WILSON - Academics must come first for any high school coach - a fact Franklinton High soccer guru Deran Coe fully understood last Saturday. With stalwarts Lachelle Gatson (college visit) and Jennifer Flood and Melissa White (SAT testing) unavailable for most of the game, Coe focused on development rather than the actual outcome of his club’s matchup against Rocky Mount Academy as part of The Brittany Girls Soccer Showcase at Gillette Park in Wilson.

LOUISBURG — Further evidence about the parity of girls soccer in Franklin County came Wednesday afternoon on the Louisburg High campus.

LOUISBURG — With seven starters returning, Bunn High expected to be strong on the fast-pitch softball field this spring. The Ladycats, coached by Melanie Lovin, have lived up to those expectations -- and more -- through 10 games.
FRANKLIN COUNTY — Bunn has been competitive to date on the Northern Carolina Conference boys tennis circuit this spring. But taking on the powerful Warren County Eagles is another story for another NCC squad.
When he was a boy, Aaron Denton attended J. Enid Drake’s basketball camps on the Louisburg College campus -- never thinking that one day he would succeed Drake as LC’s men’s hoops coach.
But what had been a long-time dream for Denton became a reality Wednesday when he was chosen to replace Drake, who has retired after 41 storied years on the LC campus.
BUNN — Daniel Wright didn’t have to look very far to find his replacement as Bunn High’s girls track and field coach for the 2006 season. He didn’t even have to look outside of his own home.
