Conley found itself in unfamiliar territory, 0-2 and near the bottom of the 3-A/4-A Eastern Carolina Conference. Since that time, the Vikings have rattled off three straight wins, outscoring opponents 158-78. The Vikings (3-2, 1-0) now sit in second place in the conference, just behind undefeated rival South Central. If both teams continue their current paths, the Nov. 2 season-ending matchup between the two could prove to be quite the showdown. DHC used another four touchdown performance from wide receiver CJ Johnson to trample Eastern Wayne, 56-26, last week. Johnson finished with two rushes for 80 yards and two touchdowns, along with bringing in four receptions for 96 yards and another two scores. Both of Johnson’s rushing touchdowns came via the wildcat formation for which the Warriors had no answer. Johnson wasn't the only one making plays, as quarterback Nick Hamilton finished 14-for-23 for 238 yards and three TDs while wide receiver Matthew Rostar came alive in the second half and finished with five receptions for 87 yards and a TD. The Vikings defense and special teams units were involved in the scoring as well. Defensive back Nyck Brown blocked a punt, which he recovered and returned for a touchdown. Defensive lineman Reed Chandler got involved by forcing a fumble deep in Eastern Wayne territory, and that fumble was recovered by fellow defensive lineman Blake Mizelle, who scored the touchdown to increase the Vikings’ lead. “It was an all-around team victory,” DHC head coach Nate Conner said. “A lot of guys made special plays - the fumble recovery for a touchdown, blocked punt for a touchdown, got a lot of turnovers, we put our offense in position and good situations and the touchdown before the half was huge. I think it’s evident the way these guys have worked the past couple weeks, they did a great job of staying together, I’m very proud of them.” DHC travels to face C.B. Aycock (2-3, 0-1) Friday. SOUTH CENTRAL 64, SOUTHERN WAYNE 14 Thus far, South Central is the team to beat. The Falcons have outscored opponents 124-32 over their past three games. Head coach Andy Tew has plenty of offensive options to choose from in quarterback Justin Humphries, running back Jemere Artis and wide receiver Jeremy Lewis, all three of which played a part in SC’s 64-14 throttling of Southern Wayne. Humphries, who finished 8-for-13 for 170 yards two touchdowns, recorded his fourth consecutive two-TD performance. His consistency has been a big piece of moving the ball in a hurry. Artis had another outstanding performance, using seven carries to amass 117 yards and three touchdowns. Despite his stats, Artis was not the Falcons’ leading rusher. That honor went to Kevone Harris, who needed only six carries to gain 126 yards and two touchdowns. Lewis finished with two receptions for 38 yards and a score. If Harris can continue to tear apart defenses, he and Artis can be a special duo for the Falcons’ ground game, which when combined with a stubborn defense and high-flying passing, puts the Falcons (6-0, 2-0) squarely in the hunt for a state title. The Falcons will hit the road for the second consecutive week as they travel to face Eastern Wayne. AYDEN-GRIFTON 35, NORTH PITT 7 It was another blowout in Bethel for the Panthers, who are still searching for the recipe to bring home their first win of the season. For the Chargers, running back Kevin Boomer stole the spotlight from teammates Ray Darden and Micheal Webb. Boomer finished with 136 yards rushing on seven carries, scoring two touchdowns. Even more impressive was the Chargers’ defense, which held tricky triple-option-based North Pitt to 140 yards rushing. While Webb wasn't the leading rusher, he still made plays, forcing and recovering a fumble by NP running back Zaiere Bradley. Raheem Jones was the leading rusher for the Panthers, collecting 43 yards on 13 carries. The Chargers (3-2) will finally have the chance to open conference play in the Eastern Carolina 2-A Conference when they host Washington. The Panthers (0-6) will travel to face SouthWest Edgecombe (4-1). J.H. Rose 35, C.B. Aycock 14 The Rampants once again stepped to the plate and delivered a fantastic performance on both sides of the ball. The Golden Falcons were held scoreless until late in the third quarter, by which time Rose had posted 28 points. Rose’s offense provides a solid balance of rushing and passing the ball, and with Grant Humphreys as one of the leaders of the backfield, the Rampants have no issues punching the ball in for scores. Rose (4-2, 1-1) will take to the road this week as the Rampants travel to face Southern Wayne (1-4, 0-1). WEST CARTERET 42, FARMVILLE CENTRAL 34 The Jaguars’ offense has struggled moving the ball for most of the season. The pass game, which has never been a calling card of FC, has been non-existent, and at times the ground game falters as well. That could not be said, however, about the team’s performance against West Carteret. Despite losing 42-34, the Jags had three rushers over 70 yards on the day. Rahshae Evans led the team with 104 yards on 14 carries. Tayvon Suggs was the leading scorer, housing two touchdowns on 13 carries for 72 yards. Dontavious Short also recorded 72 yards on just four carries. The Jags have a quick turnaround, as they host a tough Greene Central team tonight at 7 p.m. in a rescheduled matchup.
