By Allen Turner [email protected]

The severe damage to Fair Bluff’s res- idential areas and business district from Hurricane Matthew is still being assessed, but what’s also coming to light is the poten- tial heavy negative fiscal impact on town government. Towns rely on a number of sources of revenue, not the least of which are property taxes. With the business district essentially destroyed and a number of homes uninhab- itable, the valuation of properties will surely fall. In addition to property taxes, municipali- ties also get a percentage of state sales taxes. With business like Fair Bluff Ford and Ellis Meares closed for the foreseeable future, those revenues counted on in the current budget will be lost.

The Wolfpack allowed the Cher- ryville offense to convert only one of 14 third-down plays. The Ironmen were limited to 23 yards net rushing on 29 plays. The big WHS defensive play of the night came on a 97-yard pass interception return by Shane Nairn for the first score of the second half. The Whiteville secondary came up with five pass interceptions for the night. Nairn and Kiante Webb each had two of the interceptions. The Whiteville offense had a big night, rolling up 355 yards of total offense, including 308 rushing. Junior back Jamario Norton had another big night, running for 116 yards on 12 carries and touchdown runs of 41, 17 and four yards. Keshawn Bellamy added a 44-yard touchdown dash, and Brad- ley Pridgen caught a 27-yard touchdown pass from Monchovia Gaffney. Junior kicker Will Hinson made good on all six of his extra-point kicking attempts. Gaffney completed four of eight passes for 47 yards and a touchdown. Cherryville quarterbacks Preston Elliott and Austin Tread- way combined to complete five passes for 58 yards. Little said that he feels his team is starting to hit its stride after falling short of the Three Rivers Conference championship for the first time in four years. “I think we have become more confident and focused overall as a team,” he said. “We’ll need another big effort against Bes- semer City in the second round because they are a more athletic team than Cherryville.” Whiteville got on the scoreboard with less than four minutes gone when Norton broke loose on his 41-yard TD run. With five minutes left in the first quarter, Bellamy sprinted 44 yards for the second Wolfpack TD followed by Hinson’s second straight PAT kick. With 9:19 left in the second quarter, Norton capped another Wolfpack scoring drive with a 17-yard run.

By Dan Biser [email protected] VINEGAR HILL - When Dennis Leggett touches the football for the South Columbus Stallions, a lot of big things can happen. That was especially the case Friday night at Civitan Stadium as the SCHS senior turned in another sterling effort, ripping off five touchdown runs while gaining a total of 246 yards in the Stallions’ 42-26 victory over the visiting Bertie Falcons in the opening round of the state 2A high school football playoffs. Leggett took on extra ball-carrying responsibility during the night after starting Stallion fullback Seth Buffkin had to leave the game with an injury in the first quarter. Leggett scored on runs 35, 9, 8, 43 and 9 yards for the Stallions, who led 21-14 at halftime en route to its eighth straight win and put their season record at 10-2. Leggett’s two fourth-quarter touchdowns helped seal the win over a strong challenge by the Bertie team. The other Stallion score came on a one-yard smash by Trequan Bellamy, Kicker Alfonso Panteleon was successful on all six of his extra point tries. The Stallions got the win without completing a pass. It marked the first state playoff win as a head coach for Rus- sell Dove. “It was a good effort,” Dove said. “Dennis had another big night and everybody pulled together and worked harder after we lost some players to injuries early on.” Along with Buffkin having to leave the game, defensive line- man Markarias Brunson was also sidelined with an injury.” Bertie, led by cat-quick quarterback Greg Williams, finished its season with a 5-7 record. Williams gave Coach Grantley Miles’ Falcons a big lift when he returned the second half kickoff 65 yards for a touchdown. “I was impressed by Bertie, particularly their size, quickness and the way they kept battling,” said Dove, who has guided the Stallions to the 2016 Three Rivers Conference championship this season. “We went up against a good football team tonight.” South Columbus got one of its biggest plays of the night when it followed up a third-quarter touchdown run by Leggett with an onside kick by Panteleon. After a Bertie up-man mishandled the ball, the Stallions’ Tate Lee made the recovery at the Bertie 43. One play later, Leggett took a handoff and sprinted down the right-sideline for another TD and a 35-20 lead. Leggett’s two scores took just over one minute of the clock.
