Staff Report

WALNUT COVE — North Surry visited South Stokes on Friday and left with a 45-21 victory. At halftime, the Grey- hounds led 19-7 against the Sauras. Playing hard against the competition, three of North Surry’s players suffered injuries, said Coach Brian Hampton from a nearby medical center where the players were evaluated. With this latest win, North Surry (6-0) is tied with West Stokes atop the Northwest Conference. Next up is the annual rivalry game with Mount Airy. The Bears started the season with some struggles, but have improved to 5-2 with a strong defense. With the Hounds averag- ing about 40 points a game, that Bears defense will be sorely tested.
