Lady Cavs battle it out in first round playoff loss

Dobson- The 19 seed East Burke volleyball team opened the NCHSAA 2A volleyball state playoffs at 14 seed Surry Central and was ready to battle at all costs.

The host Lady Golden Eagles took the first two sets in close fashion while the Lady Cavaliers took charge to capture sets three and four to play a do or die fifth set.

EB led as much as 5-3 and 6-4 in attempting to complete the come from behind victory but Surry Central still had some grit and strength left to hang on and end the Lady Cavaliers season.

EB seniors Erica Clontz, Graleigh Hildebran, and Riley Haas were key to keep the scoring close for the Lady Cavs in the early sets with fellow seniors Ashlyn Stilwell and Kendall Buff each registering a serving ace.

Haas (3 blocks, kill) and Clontz (2 kills) led the charge at the net to set up the comeback to pick up a winning set.

Surry Central led early on in the fourth set with Haas, Clontz, Hildebran, Buff, and Erin Newton going to work as a play by Haas ultimately gave EB a late advantage to knot up the playoff matchup 2-2.

Two of Clontz team-high 19 kills came in the fifth set to give EB leads of 5-3 and 6-4 until the hosts rallied off the next six of seven points while EB only had three more possessions only to get within one point of the lead twice.

Clontz finished the season with a school-record total of 369 kills while also contributing 12 digs and three blocks in her final game.

Haas went double in her last volleyball game at EB recording 17 blocks and 12 kills.

The Lady Cavaliers finished with an overall record of 16-8, their best win total in three seasons with the Northwestern Foothills 2A Conference.

Lady Cavs volleyball falls in NWFAC semis

Newton- It was going to be a top-notch battle for the 4 seed East Burke volleyball team to dethrone top-seeded Foard.

The Lady Cavaliers proved to give their best effort but Foard ultimately won the three-set contest in Tuesday's Northwestern Foothills 2A semifinals.

Kendall Buff (dig, kill), Riley Haas (serving ace), and Erica Clontz (kill) kept EB ahead early in the opening set until the host Lady Tigers were able to jump ahead.

A block by Graleigh Hildebran and a Haas kill looked to help the Lady Cavs stay within Foard's lead until Foard went on an eight-point run to distance themselves for the first set win.

Foard scored the first four points of set two as Haas, Hildebran, and Clontz made key plays to keep the score close.

Foard ultimately dominated set three while Faith McDowell recorded a kill and a block in the last-ditch effort at a late comeback.

The Lady Cavaliers are expected to be on the road in the first round of the 2A state playoffs Saturday.

Lady Cavs Revenge, sweeps Lady Wildcats in NWFAC volleyball tournament opener

Icard- It's always a wild showdown when Draughn and East Burke meet on the volleyball court.

Five days after a four-set home win by the Lady Wildcats, they met again at East Burke in the opening round of the Northwestern Foothills 2A Conference tournament.

The sets stayed close but when the dust settled, the 4 seed Lady Cavaliers were victorious in a three-set win over the 5 seed Lady Wildcats (25-20, 25-13, 25-15).

"Last week's loss hurt us a lot and there was a lot of tension in this game, I'm just glad this one is on our side," said EB senior Erica Clontz.

Chloe Gary started off for Draughn (15-9) recording a serving ace and the Lady Wildcats built up a 7-4 lead behind kills from Georgia Goulding and Kirsten Powell.

The Lady Cavaliers (15-6) made a comeback and grabbed the lead late topped off with a serving ace by Erin Newton.

Clontz and Riley Haas dominated at the net with a couple kills to start off the second set along with Graleigh Hildebran, Kendall Buff, and Danielle Foxx contributing as the Lady Cavs led all the way to hold a 2-0 advantage.

Powell and Gary looked to keep the Lady Cavs from earning the three-set sweep but Haas, Clontz, and Hildebran were key at the net to seal the first-round win.

"I just really like this win and hope it gives us better seeding (for the state playoffs)," said Haas.

The Lady Cavs now turnaround to face top-seeded Foard today in the semifinal round after a close three-set battle with the Lady Tigers last week.

"It feels intimidating (to play Foard again) but after how we played today, we should hang in there," said Clontz.

Cavs fall to Bears

Icard- The East Burke football team returned home to host Bunker Hill for the annual Pink Out/Cavs Kickin Cancer game in a Northwestern Foothills 2A matchup of two teams in the upper half of the conference standings.

The Cavaliers got within three points of the Bears lead at the halftime break but the visitors won the second half by a 20-0 shutout for a 37-14 victory.

Bunker Hill scored the first points of the game off a 16-yard field goal on a 17 play opening drive that took nearly six minutes off the first-quarter clock.

EB quickly responded with a 46-yard pass from Seth Pruitt to Johnny Reynolds on the first play sparking a nine-play drive ending with a one-yard touchdown run by Josh Moore gaining a 7-3 lead.

Bunker Hill fired back in two plays to get back in front 10-7 off a 54-yard touchdown run.

The Bears added a 15-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter to extend their lead to ten points.

The Cavs had one last successful drive left in them going 12 plays ending with a 22-yard pass from Pruitt to Luke Coble.

A pass by Pruitt that was intercepted to open the third quarter proved costly for EB as Bunker Hill scored in five plays to again lead by a ten-point advantage.

Two other drives went into Bunker Hill territory but just couldn't get inside the red zone.

Coble grabbed an interception to spark the EB defense in the second half with Raelen Lo and Landon-Langley Smith each picking up a sack.

Moore was held to 87 yards rushing on 26 carries and is two touchdowns away from tying Robbie McGee for the career lead at EBHS.

Pruitt passed for 100 yards on ten completions led by 57 yards on three receptions from Johnny Reynolds.

Coble had five catches for 36 yards with Moore catching two passes for seven yards.

East Burke is on the road next Friday facing two-time defending conference champion Hibriten.

EB cross country sweeps NWFAC championships

Claremont- The East Burke cross country teams made history Tuesday at the Northwestern Foothills 2A Conference championship meet hosted by Riverbend Middle School as the Cavs won both 5K races.

Both squads scored 41 points with senior Logan Shuford (boys 4th, 18:11.14) and freshman Meah Walsh (girls 4th, 23:56.80) being the top Cavalier finishers.

"It was a complete team effort on both sides," said East Burke coach AJ Schwankert.

Luke Elliott (5th, 18:23.70), Ayden Lingerfelt (8th, 19:03.05), Shane Feamster (11th, 19:10.52), Clay Seagle (13th, 19:13.42), and Caleb-Johnson White (20th, 20:10.24) were other leading runners for the EB boys, setting a new mark of six first-place finishes as a team besting the 2017 team winning five.

"Our boys have been very successful against our conference all season, they've worked very hard all season. They are a very unique group who just enjoys each other's company and feed off of each other's successes."

Mekenzie Harris (6th, 24:21.49), Gracie Ruff (7th, 24:53.45), and Janie Ennis (8th, 24:55.36) crossed the finish line in succession for the Lady Cavs in being key to beat out conference favorite Patton.

"The girls team has come a very long way in a very short time, we have a tried and true senior in Ruff with lots of experience and leadership combined with a special trio of ninth graders who have trained hard and overcame the label of beginners."

Piper Strong (16th), Mary Blankenship (23rd), and Kloie Grubbs (31st) were other key Lady Cavalier runners.

"We were very fortunate (for this win), our girls went into the race knowing that it was going to be a dogfight with Patton."

Senior Tommy Blackwell led the Draughn boys (3rd, 57 pts) with a second-place finish (17:46.33) with Reed Farrar (6th, 18:24.89), Andrew Albright (10th, 19:08.70), and Ben Teffeteller (12th, 19:10.86) finishing in the top 15.

The Lady Wildcats placed fourth (117 pts) with Regen Bridges (5th, 24:16.33) and Gracie Mitchell (18th, 26:32.64) being the top finishers.

Draughn and East Burke will next compete at the 2A western regional meet hosted by Brevard at Southside Park on November 2nd.

Valdese sweeps Ray Childers

Pony: Valdese 14, Ray Childers 0

Radabaugh also added a tackle for loss along with Braydon Suttles (3) and Gaige Deal to lead Valdese (3-1) defensively.

Mustang: Valdese 36, Ray Childers 0

Wildcats win streak halted

Claremont- The biggest turnaround season for the Draughn football team hit a roadblock Friday night at Bunker Hill in a rather controversial situation as the Bears won their Homecoming game 28-27.

"We came out flat and our preparation wasn't what it should be," said Draughn head football coach Chris Powell. "Our kids responded and fought back, I'm proud of them."

The Wildcats faced a 21-6 deficit early but came alive in the second quarter going on a 12 play drive capped by a Braxton Cox to Beckett Nelson four-yard touchdown pass.

Cox ended the Bears next drive by grabbing an interception and then later completed a pass to Nick Chrisco going for 57 yards.

Cox and Chrisco hooked up again for a seven-yard touchdown pass cutting Bunker Hill's lead down to 21-19 at the halftime break.

Draughn took their first lead, 27-21 after Trent Corn completed a six-play third-quarter drive with a two-yard touchdown run.

The lead looked to hold after the Wildcats was able to hold the Bears thanks to key stops by Chrisco, Zach Poteet, Donavan King, Mason Pratt, and an interception by Robbie Gibby.

The Bears executed a late 12 play drive ending with a 17-yard touchdown pass and a point-after kick that went high but was able to stay within the goalposts for the one-point lead.

Khe-Nai Banks returned the opposing kick for nearly 30 yards to put the Wildcats in Bunker Hill territory with under 30 seconds left.

Cox fired a pass near the sidelines that looked to be intercepted but the Bears defender had a foot out of bounds ruling the pass incomplete.

The next play was a missed snap that was recovered by Cox near the 40-yard line and the clock ran out before having a chance to get off another snap.

"We just let (this win) slip away from us, we got to get back to work this week and get ready for a great Hibriten team (at home)."

Cox finished with 194 passing yards on 18 completions led by Chrisco's 80 yards on five receptions.

Corn finished with 82 rushing yards on 21 carries with the third quarter touchdown run.

Cavs fall to Panthers, Moore sets new career rushing record

Morganton- The East Burke football team got behind Friday night at Patton by 22 points leading to a 49-21 road loss marking four consecutive losses to the Panthers.

Senior running back Josh Moore scored all three touchdowns for the Cavaliers (2-5, 1-2 NWFAC) from 3, 35, and 3 yards.

Moore finished with 101 rushing yards on 18 carries to pass Robbie McGee as the all-time leader in career rushing yards at EBHS (2,910).

"Gotta thank God once again for another accomplishment, also gotta thank the offensive line they solid dudes," said Moore on his Instagram account.

The Cavaliers are back home next Friday vs. Bunker Hill in the Cavs Kickin' Cancer game.

"We have another tough game, Bunker Hill has been improving week to week and is a very talented team. They have a lot of athletes and are well-coached."

"Defensively, we will have to stop the passing attack and slow down their fast receivers. Offensively, we face one of the best defensive lines and units we have seen yet so we have to be really good upfront. This game can be won or lost in the trenches."

Cavs fall to West Iredell

Icard- It was Homecoming night at Danny Williams Field and the East Burke football team was in position for their first 2-0 start in the Northwestern Foothills 2A Conference.

The Cavaliers fell behind 21-7 at the halftime break to visiting West Iredell but was able to cut the lead down to 29-20 off two Josh Moore touchdowns.

The Warriors ultimately took advantage of East Burke miscues, injuries, and penalties winning 43-20.

The Cavaliers and Warriors now join Bunker Hill, 14-12 winners over Foard, in a tie for third place (1-1) in the NWFAC standings behind Draughn (3-0) and Hibriten (2-0).

Moore, rushing for 128 yards on 20 carries, first scored for EB (2-4 overall) on a second quarter five yard run.

After West Iredell opened third quarter scoring on a nine yard touchdown pass, Seth Pruitt was able to find Moore on a streak down the Warriors sideline for a 56 yard touchdown pass.

EB got the ball back again off a lost West Iredell fumble recovered by Cody Huffman, the Cavs went on a nine play drive ending with a nine yard touchdown run by Moore.

West Iredell responded to get another touchdown pass on the scoreboard and EB couldn't get much going for the rest of the contest only crossing midfield once with losing a fumble.

Pruitt and Brett Childers combined for 133 passing yards and were both banged up with undisclosed injuries.

Luke Coble led EB receiving with 73 yards on five catches.

Raelen Lo (sack) and Noah Rooks led defensively with two tackles for loss each with Coble (TFL, pass breakup), Huffman (fumble recovery), Dawson Langley (sack), and Logan Johnson (pass breakup) assisting.

EB hits the road next Friday to face county rival Patton.

Valdese Rec Pool gets resurface job after 20 years

Valdese- After 20 years, Valdese Recreation Pool director David Andersen saw it was needing a new resurface job so it can continue to be in operation for the next ten to twenty years.

"Resurfacing is something that needs to be done every once in a while to make sure there are no cracks or leaks that would cause a larger problem for us," said Andersen.

"This helped us to make sure the integrity of the pool is good and we have a nice smooth surface and we wouldn't have any growth or anything of that nature."

Andersen credits Chris Mozeley, who was also contracted with the Valdese Rec in building the splash pad.

"We are now in a position to stay open and not have any issues for quite a while," said Andersen. "It's been a process and Public Works did a great job with us to help put the bubble up and not have a second closure."

As the pool is now back open for operation in the bubble, the high school swimming season begins November 20th with East Burke hosting Patton and West Iredell.

"It boils down to fundamentals for us, we have to play sound defense. Patton has playmakers on offense, Weston Fleming is probably one of the more athletic QBs we have seen this year."

"Offensively, we have to execute every series. We have to play smart and put ourselves in situations that are manageable for us. I think that we are more balanced on the offensive side, which should help us."

"Coach (Jonathan) Browning is a great guy and coach, I have a lot of respect for him. He will have his kids (at Patton) ready to play. Anytime you play a county rival, anything is possible."
