NC Central Pounds Charlotte 40-13

4:43 PM
NC Central Pounds Charlotte 40-13
CHARLOTTE – Football weather was in the air at Jerry Richardson Stadium as the Charlotte 49ers, 2-0 through their first games in history, hosted the North Carolina Central Eagles in college football action. Charlotte came into the game averaging 49.5 points per game on offense while only giving up two touchdowns in as many games in wins over Campbell and Chowan. The Eagles lost to the ACC's Duke 45-0 in the first week and barely squeaked by St. Augustine's last week, winning 23-20 in overtime. From the opening kickoff to the final whistle, North Carolina Central was in command of the game, and the Eagles walked out with a 40-6 victory.

Charlotte won the toss and elected to receive. The 49ers took the opening kickoff to their own 25. A big pass to Austin Duke (Independence) got the Niners out to midfield. Duke shook off two Eagle defenders on his way. But, the Niners were unable to move the ball, punting it back to North Carolina Central. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty gave the Eagles the ball at their own 35, but they were not able to move the chains, punting it back to Charlotte.

Charlotte's next drive began on its own 14, but the Eagle defense found the ball on each snap, forcing the 49ers to punt for the second time. A bad bounce put the Eagles on their 42, and the Eagles looked to capitalize, moving the chains in methodical fashion with a mix of runs and passes. A thirty-nine yard field goal by Oleg Parent gave the Eagle a 3-0 lead, the first deficit Charlotte has faced this season.

Looking to respond, the 49ers turned to Alan Barnwell (Cummings), who got the Niners across midfield with a run and reception. The Niners do get into the red zone, but a thirty-seven yard field goal attempt was blocked, giving NC Central the ball. But, 49ers safety Terry Caldwell (Hoggard) recovered a fumble on the next play to give Charlotte another shot at scoring. The Niners did not take advantage of the turnover, though, fumbling away the ball, with NC Central returning to the Charlotte 22. The Eagles got the ball inside the 5, but were unable to find the end zone, instead turning to Oleg Parent for another field goal. At the 2:08 mark of the first quarter, North Carolina Central led Charlotte 6-0.

Charlotte was unable to get the offense moving and punted back to the Eagles, who took over at midfield. The Eagles were knocking on the door for another score when the second quarter began, but the Niners defense held, forcing the Eagle to attempt another field goal. Charlotte's Terrance Winchester (Berry) blocked the attempt and the Niners took over possession. Charlotte found their rhythm on this drive, starting with CJ Crawford's leap over an Eagle defender and getting deep into Eagle territory, but a Tim Thaniel interception in the end zone gave the ball back to Central.

The Eagles made it all the way down inside the 5 yard line before losing another fumble. Charlotte set out to try and get on the board somehow in the first half, and two passes from Matt Johnson (Maiden) to Austin Duke (Independence) got the Niners out to the 40. A penalty and dropped pass forced the Niners into a third and long, and a forced pass was intercepted by the Eagles, stopping another Charlotte drive and giving the Eagles a chance to put some points on the board before halftime.

NC Central found themselves with a first and goal again, but this time the Eagles were able to convert, with sophomore running back Deyonta Wright (Myers Park) punching it in from three yards out. The PAT was good, and with 2:24 left in the first half, North Carolina Central was in possession of the game with a 13-0 lead. Charlotte was unable to mount a drive before the half, and for the first time, Charlotte fans went into halftime without a lead to celebrate.

Any momentum the Eagles had going into halftime was magnified when Adrian Wilkins (East Rutherford) took the second half kickoff on his own goal line and raced past all eleven Charlotte defenders on his way to the end zone for a 100 yard touchdown return. When Charlotte attempted to respond and get some type of offense going, Tony Williams picked off 49ers quarterback Matt Johnson and returned it to the house for a forty-six yard score. The PAT was no good, and the Eagles held a 26-0 lead halfway through the third quarter.

After stopping Charlotte on a fourth down deep in their own territory, Central took over possession and began their march down the field. Eight plays and eighty-five yards later, Idreis Augustus put the Eagles back on the board again with a two yard score and Central held a 33-0 lead through the end of the third quarter.

On the first play of the fourth quarter, Matt Johnson was picked off for the fourth time of the day, this time by Hakiem Swann. By this time, though, most of the announced crowd of 16,630 had made their way to the exits. Those that did stay got a chance to see Alan Barnwell (Cummings) get his first rushing touchdown of the season, a three yard run midway through the final quarter. 

Central picked off another pass midway through the fourth quarter and got into the end zone again behind the running of Idreis Augustus. But, the game was already in hand for a Central team who was looking to prove that last week's overtime with over St. Augustine's win was not indicative of just how well the Eagles can play. Charlotte wrapped up the scoring for the game when backup quarterback Lee McNeill (Porter Ridge) rushed for a score with six seconds left in the fourth quarter.

NC Central hosts Towson next week while Charlotte travels to take on James Madison.

Green Hope Blanks Myers Park 2-0 To Win NCHSAA 4-A Men's Soccer Championship

3:23 PM
Green Hope Blanks Myers Park 2-0 To Win NCHSAA 4-A Men's Soccer Championship

RALEIGH – Green Hope scored the only goals of the game in the final 14 minutes as the Falcons won their second consecutive North Carolina High School Athletic Association state 4-A men's soccer championship, beating Charlotte Myers Park 2-0 at Dail Soccer Field at North Carolina State University on Saturday afternoon.

The contest was a rematch of last year's 4-A state championship, in which Green Hope prevailed 2-1 in overtime.

Green Hope senior goalkeeper Sam Bissette, a 6-4 junior who made six saves and a couple of the spectacular variety, was named the championship Most Valuable Player. He helped keep Myers Park at bay, especially in the first half when the Mustangs seemed to have the edge in play, and then secured two saves on point-blank shots in the second half.

Green Hope captain Joshua Kennedy finally broke the scoreless tie in the 66th minute off an assist from Cole Dixon to give the Falcons a 1-0 lead. Then in the game's final two minutes with Myers Park pressing forward, Zack Compton got loose on a breakaway and put it in near post to secure the victory. Compton had come on as a sub in the second half.

The Falcons had eight shots on goal to seven for Myers Park, and the Falcons had two corner kick opportunities to one for the Mustangs.

The Falcons finished with a record of 24-2 and won their second NCHSAA crown in four trips to the championship match. Myers Park ended the year 20-4, with the Mustangs making their third consecutive appearance in the finals and sixth overall. Myers Park won its only soccer title in 2008.

The Raleigh Sports Consortium serves as a host city sponsor for these championships, along with the city of Raleigh and the Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors’ Bureau.

2010-11 Wachovia Cup Final Standings Announced
From the NCHSAA

CHAPEL HILL -- Wachovia, a Wells Fargo company, and the North Carolina High School Athletic Association today announced the final standings in the Wachovia Cup competitions for the 2010-11 academic year with the spring sports seasons completed.

The Wachovia Cup award, sponsored by Wachovia and the NCHSAA, recognizes the high schools that achieve the best overall interscholastic athletic performances within each of the state’s four competitive classifications. The Wachovia Cup program has concluded its 32nd year.

All four of the champions successfully defended the Wachovia Cups each of them won a year ago. Cary Green Hope maintained its lead after winter sports to capture the Cup in the final 4-A standings for the second consecutive year. Raleigh Cardinal Gibbons took the top spot in the 3-A classification with a great all around performance. Salisbury was the Cup winner among 2-A schools for the second year in a row while Kernersville Bishop McGuinness captured first place in 1-A for the fourth time in the last five years.

"We sincerely appreciate Wachovia's commitment to our overall program in recognizing our champions for over 30 years," said Davis Whitfield, NCHSAA commissioner. "These schools who win the Wachovia Cup do a tremendous job with their overall athletic programs, and we are grateful for Wachovia's desire to recognize their achievements."

In the 4-A classification, Green Hope finished first with 427.5 points to hold off a surging Charlotte Myers Park in second with 390.5. Green Hope preserved its title by placing fifth in men's golf and fifth among 4-A women's lacrosse teams. Myers Park had a second-place finish in men's golf to go with a runner-up finish in women's lacrosse and getting to the state quarterfinals in men's dual team tennis.

Raleigh Wakefield wound up in third, primarily with a couple of great performances in track, winning the women's outdoor track and field crown and taking third in the men's meet, to go with a fourth-place finish in men's golf.

Cardinal Gibbons held on to the top spot in the 3-A standings with playoff points in an impressive five different spring sports, including winning both the men's dual team tennis championship and taking top honors among 3-A women's lacrosse teams, while finishing second in both women's outdoor track and field and women's soccer. Gibbons recorded a whopping 715 points, ahead of runner-up Charlotte Catholic at 605.

Catholic's spring performances included a women's soccer title and second place among 3-A teams in both women's lacrosse and men's dual team tennis.

Waxhaw Marvin Ridge was third with 487.5 points, just a half point ahead of fourth-place Chapel Hill.

Salisbury had an impressive spring to secure its sixth Cup all time. Salisbury recorded 647.5 points, including winning the men's golf title, taking second in women's outdoor track and field and fifth in men's outdoor track and field. Carrboro, with a strong spring, was second with 615 points, including playoff points in six spring sports. Among the Jaguar team highlights were a title in women's outdoor track and field, a runner-up finish in women's soccer, and a top finish among 2-A schools in women's lacrosse.

East Lincoln, which advanced to the regional finals in baseball and placed fourth in the men's track and field state meet, was third with 345 points and Cuthbertson fourth at 320.

In the 1-A classification, Bishop McGuinness collected playoff points for positions in men’s golf, women’s outdoor track, women’s soccer, and both women's and men's lacrosse en route to a total of 630 points, ahead of Durham's North Carolina School of Science and Math at 467.5. NCSSM was second in the state 1-A men's outdoor track and field championships to go with a runner-up spot in men's dual team tennis and getting to the state semifinals in women's soccer.

Hendersonville, the school that has recorded the most Wachovia Cups of any NCHSAA school with 13, finished third in the 1-A standings with 422.5 points, and North Rowan was fourth at 322.5.

Wachovia Cup points are determined by a system based on performance in state championship events. All schools that finish in the top eight positions (plus ties) earn points. In the playoff events involving teams from more than one classification, Wachovia Cup points are awarded based on the school’s standing against other schools in its own classification. If fewer then eight schools from a classification compete in a sport, only those schools that are represented are eligible to receive the Wachovia Cup points.

Points are awarded for all sports as follows: 50 for first, 45 for second, 40 for third, 35 for fourth, 30 for fifth, 25 for sixth, 20 for seventh and 15 for eighth. In the event of a tie, the schools receive an equal number of points based on the number of teams that tie and the number of teams that finish higher in the standings. Five points are awarded for each sanctioned sport in which a school competes.

Wachovia Cup standings are announced three times each school year: once after the fall and then the winter sports, and concluding with the winner after the spring sports season ends in June. The engraved silver cups are presented during NCHSAA Day activities at UNC-Chapel Hill each fall.
