(Eden, NC) – In what can be described as a “Rocky Start” to the Morehead High School 2011-2012 Football Season, the Panthers dropped their first Home Game of the season to the Warriors of Magna Vista with a 16-49 loss.

Morehead looked to provide a strong offense, with a drive deep into Warrior territory on their second drive, however, Panther starting quarterback Dez McDaniel left the game with an apparent injury following that drive, and backup Stephen Greeson was hard-pressed to get anything going against the Warriors, until the 4th quarter when the Panthers would score two touchdowns to add to the 1st Quarter Safety the panthers achieved in the first quarter following a blocked punt that rolled into the end zone for 2 points.

The Magna Vista Warriors held Morehead to 203 total yards of offense, while taking 577 yards of offense for themselves.

Rockingham Update’s camera was at Panther Stadium for the match-up and we have the action for you in the above video from the Opening Kick-off to the final whistle.

Rockingham Update was at Cougar Pride Stadium and we we have the game for you in the above video.

Five former and current University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill cheerleaders judged the competition. “All the teams brought spirit for their schools, passion for their sport, and overall excellence to the field,” said Amanda Long, head judge. “We had an incredibly tough decision. Ledford High School’s superior execution of their routine placed them on top but all the teams deserve recognition for their tremendous performances.”

Tyson Hammer, Events and Community Relations Manager for NewBridge Bank, commented on the overall success of the evening. “Last night’s event was the largest Jamboree Cheerleading Competition to date. Coming into the event we had already raised over $46,000 through the generous donations of 271 area businesses and fans. The support of these sponsors, combined with last night’s record-breaking attendance, positions us to meet our total fund-raising goal of $120,000.”

The NewBridge Bank Invitational Football and Cheerleading Jamboree is the largest fund-raising effort led by NewBridge Bank each year. In addition to the Cheerleading Competition, the Jamboree includes preseason Football Scrimmages scheduled for Friday, Aug. 12. The Bank underwrites all the events so that one hundred percent of the proceeds benefit the athletic programs of the participating high schools. Since the Jamboree’s inception in 1999, NewBridge Bank has awarded over $470,000 to local high schools.

For the first time, NewBridge Bank has expanded the Jamboree into Forsyth County, adding four schools and Forsyth Football Scrimmages presented by Champion at Mount Tabor High School in Winston-Salem. The four new high schools competed last night and are all from Forsyth County – Carver, Glenn, Mount Tabor and Reagan.

As in years past, the Bank will also host Football Scrimmages at West Davidson High School in Lexington and Rockingham County High School in Reidsville. Each site will feature eight local high schools’ varsity and junior varsity football teams. Gates to all three sites will open at 5 p.m., with the first scrimmages kicking off at 6 p.m. Tickets to each event are $5 at the door with free admission for children ages six and under.

In addition to the Cheerleading Competition and Football Scrimmages, NewBridge Bank will host its annual Jamboree Luncheon on Wednesday, Aug. 10, celebrating 2011 Honorary Chairman Jim Grobe, the head football coach of Wake Forest University’s Demon Deacons, as well as participating schools’ coaches and administrators. The luncheon will be at noon at Bridger Field House in Winston-Salem.

A list of participating schools and Football Scrimmage schedules follow. For more information, please visit www.newbridgebankjamboree.com or contact Tyson Hammer at (336) 369-0966.

(Reidsville, NC) – While it’s the offense that usually grabs the headlines, it’s the defense that ultimately wins championships.

Chalk one up to the Reidsville Raider defense this time.

The Raiders scored two defensive touchdowns in the third quarter Thursday and held Dillard to 40 yards in total offense on their way to a 34-6 win over the Bulls in Yanceyville.

The win capped a second straight 7-0 season for Reidsville and earned the team its fourth straight North Central Middle School Conference championship in the process.

The Raiders stifled Dillard’s running game by holding the Bulls to minus-35 yards rushing on a variety of sacks and other negative yardage plays. Khalid Broadnax had four sacks with one leading directly to an RMS touchdown.

Broadnax’s sack in the third quarter resulted in a fumble that was returned 38 yards for a touchdown by Myles Wallace.

Jayron Rankin had the other defensive score as he returned an interception 74 yards.

In fact, the Raiders did not run an offensive play the entire third quarter after taking a precarious 12-6 lead at halftime.

Wallace’s return came with 4:07 left in the third and Rankin’s score came on Dillard’s next possession with 35 seconds left in the period.

Reidsville took a 6-0 lead in the second quarter on Jawan Hammock’s eight-yard run only to see Bryan Parker catch a tipped pass that turned into a 34-yard scoring play for Dillard to tie the game at 6-6.

The Raiders took the lead for good following the kickoff as Devonte Williams hit Davian Gibson in stride for a 74-yard touchdown pass and 12-6 RMS lead at the break.

Wallace and Rankin’s defensive scores put the game out of reach and Gibson closed out the scoring with a 10-yard run late in the fourth quarter.

Dalante Enoch and Williams had conversions.

Reidsville was held to 86 yards rushing but Williams was 3 of 6 passing for 138 yards. Rankin had two receptions for 64 yards and Gibson had the 74-yarder to paydirt.

Other defensive stars for the Raiders were Hammock, Rankin, Omar McCollum, Jakel Pass, Ricky Pickard, Kashus Galloway, and Noel Cook.

In Fifth Quarter action, Cook had a scoring run for Reidsville. Other standouts were Kevin Cobb, Mike Golden, Jason McLaughlin (fumble recovery), B.J. Allen, Milik Williams, and Josh Eleby.

The Raiders were led by head man Reggie Chestnut along with assistants Calvin Simpson, Chico Galloway, Lee Woodson, Andre Williams, Michael Chestnut, and the late Top Griffin.

The 2010 conference championship is the sixth in eight years with Chestnut at the helm.

The Raiders are 6-0 on the season heading into Thursday’s season finale at Dillard. Monday’s win clinched no worse than a tie for Reidsville’s fourth straight conference championship.

Quarterback Devonte Williams led a ground attack that accumulated 266 yards with 107 yards on 10 carries. Jayron Rankin had 85 yards and Davian Gibson added 47. Jawan Hammock rounded out the list with 27 yards on five carries.

Williams was 2 of 5 passing for 42 yards with Keon Coleman and Dalante Enoch on the receiving end of those completions.

Kiwane Williamson, Tim Settle, Mike Millner, Kashus Galloway, Ricky Pickard, and Brian Blackwell had good games on the offensive line.

Noel Cook and Omar McCollum had fumble recoveries for the Raiders, who also got solid defensive play from Settle, Jakel Pass, Pickard, Rankin, and Hammock.

The Jaguars had 113 yards rushing in the game, but got 98 of those on two carries.

Rankin got Reidsville on the board as he went 70 yards for a touchdown on the first play of the game. Following a Rockingham fumble, Rankin scored again from nine yards out and Hammock had the conversion for a 14-0 lead.

Williams broke free for a 47-yard touchdown run and then added the conversion before hitting Enoch for a 26-yard scoring play and 28-0 halftime lead.

Rockingham County’s lone score was a 63-yard run with two minutes left in the game.

Jay Zarate had a fumble recovery for the Jaguars.

Neither team scored in Fifth Quarter action but the Raiders got solid play from Cook, Lamar Lee, Justin Jackson, Kevin Cobb, Matt Hagwood, Sammy Murphy, Jason McLaughlin, Marcus Melendez, Michael Golden, and Wanya Enoch.

Collin Paschal recovered a fumble for the Jags.

Davian Gibson scored four touchdowns to lead the Raider assault.

Gibson finished with 65 yards rushing on four carries while Jawan Hammock had 39 yards on three tries.

Reidsville jumped out to a 38-0 lead at halftime.

Gibson scored on a 12-yard run and the Raider defense recorded a safety for an early 8-0 lead.

Jayron Rankin returned a Mustang punt 55 yards for another score and added the conversion run.

Hammock closed out the first quarter scoring with a 20-yard run and a Rankin conversion made it a 24-0 game after six minutes.

Gibson tacked on two more scores in the second quarter and capped off his great day with a 75-yard kickoff return in the third quarter.

Holmes got a 67-yard touchdown pass from Sky McGuire to Corey Roberts and Will Dabbs returned an interception 55 yards for the final score.

Jakel Pass and Shalik Fountain recovered fumbles for the Raiders. Also playing well were Ricky Pickard, Devonte Williams, Michael Golden, Kashus Galloway, Dalante Enoch, Myles Wallace, Lamar Lee, Mike Millner, Tim Settle, Kiwane Williamson, and Brian Blackwell

Reidsville returns to action Monday for a showdown with undefeated Rockingham County. Action gets under way at Cougar Pride Stadium at 3:45.

The Baby Rams improved to 8-0 with the win.

Reidsville led 14-12 heading into the fourth quarter only to see Graham mount a drive that set up a first-and-goal inside the Ram one. But, the Reidsville defense held with 11:16 left in the game. The offense then mounted a 99-yard drive that culminated with a seven-yard touchdown pass from Hunter Welch to David Barham with 2:14 left in the game.

Tyre Wilson’s interception moments later sealed the win.

Tim Long led a Reidsville rushing attack that accumulated 299 yards. Long had 211 yards on 28 carries and scored twice. Travis Weatherford also topped the century mark with 103 yards on 14 carries.

That duo benefitted from great line play from Sam Carter, Jack Nimmons, Ethan Stone, Chris Carroll, Kevon Cummings, Matthew Troxler, and Michael Abbott.

Welch completed 12 of 14 passes for 96 yards with Barham garnering 87 of those yards.

Long had two rushing touchdowns in the first quarter only to see the Red Devils rally. Don Evans caught a TD pass just before halftime and Jamal Wilson had a scoring run in the third quarter.

Reidsville will look to continue its undefeated season next week at Eastern Randolph.
