Warriors boys, girls continue to roll

Calvin Adkins

The North Edgecombe Warriors took care of business by whipping Kipp Pride 70-48 Friday night in Leggett. Montezl Harrell led the Warriors with 23 points, eight rebounds and eight block shots. The super sophomore shot 73 percent from the field.

The Warriors, (13-3 overall, 7-1 conference) led 35-20 at halftime. After a slow third quarter North scored 25 points in the fourth.

Eleven our of the Warriors 13 players scored in the game. Kadeem Alexander scored 15 points for the Warriors.

North's game against Northampton East Saturday was postponed due to bad weather. They will play Northampton-West tonight at home and on Tuesday night they will host Weldon. Weldon is currently in first place in the Tar Roanoke Conference and the only conference team that the Warriors have fallen to. If the Warriors beat the Chargers, it could set up a first place tie in the conference.

Lady Warriors 46-Lady Panthers 37

In the girls games Shaunika Johnson led the Warriors with 16 points as North defeated the Panthers 46-37. Senior Alysia Harvey also had an all-star type performance scoring 12 points, grabbing 15 rebounds, four assists and three steals.

The Lady Warriors (11-5, 7-1) are also tied for first place in the conference with Northhampton-East.

Including tonight's game against Northampton-West, the Warriors have three more regular season games left on their schedule. Gates County, who is currently in second place, and Weldon who is at the cellar of the conference.

The Northampton-East game has not been rescheduled as of press time. That game could decide the conference championship if both teams win their next two games.

  • First 2012 hickory shad caught

    Henry C. Knight, III, caught the winner in the 2nd Annual Tar River First Shad Contest, in Tarboro this past Sunday morning about 9 a.m. Henry Knight? Are you kidding me?
    Henry winning this season’s Tar River First Shad Contest is about like Albert Einstein being a contestant on Jeopardy, and asking Alex Trebeck, in his best old-world German accent, “Alex, I vood like you should give me da physics category for $2000.” It’s a done deal, my friend. Take the money to the bank.

  • Javin Hinton.jpg SouthWest loses third straight; defeated 75-52 by Beddingfield

    PINETOPS –  The SouthWest Cougars went into Friday's game looking to win the next three out of four games to wrap up fourth place in the conference, but things just didn't go their way. They continued to struggle from the field shooting and just can't catch a break on either end of the court. They can't get a shot to fall for them on the offensive end and they can't keep opposing teams off the boards to keep them from getting second and third chance shots on the defensive end. Things continued that way for the Cougars Friday in Pinetops when they hosted Eastern Plains Conference rival the Beddingfield Bruins.
