Raleigh, N.C. — In a matchup that featured the two-time defending 4AA title winners and the two-time defending 4A East Region winners, Julius Chambers went on the road, waited out a lengthy delay, and eventually held on for a 35-29 win over Cardinal Gibbons in Raleigh.
The Cougars, playing under their new namesake for the first time, led 35-9 midway through the third quarter before Gibbons answered back with three straight touchdowns and recovered an onside kick to have a chance at a game-winning drive. But with less than a minute remaining and the Crusaders facing a 4th-and-30, Chambers (#1 HSOT West) secured the win with an interception by Trey Green.
The game went into a lightning delay not long before 8:30 p.m. with Chambers leading 21-9 late in the second quarter, and action didn’t resume until 11:34 p.m.
Offensive standout Daylan Smothers scored twice in the first half for Chambers, which also scored twice via its defense in the victory.
Once down by 26 points, Gibbons (#3 HSOT East) stormed back with a pair of touchdown throws by quarterback Connor Clark and a rushing touchdown by Blake Raphael. Eventually, however, Chambers had enough in the tank to hold on.

Rocky Mount 12, #9 Tarboro 0
The Vikings’ season began with a shocking 12-0 loss to Rocky Mount, their first shutout defeat since 2007. Seallio Alphonse’s 20-yard receiving touchdown and Jaquan Horne’s 20-yard touchdown run provided Rocky Mount all the offense it needed.
(WEATHER DELAY, 1Q) #10 Panther Creek 6, Hillside 0
The Catamounts took an early lead before Mother Nature intervened. The two teams will resume action Saturday night at 6 p.m.
Hunt 34, #12 J.H. Rose 26
Hunt’s defense and special teams (pick-6, kickoff returned for touchdown, late interception) rose to the occasion for the Warriors, as they knocked off J.H. Rose despite a big night Rampants running back Michael Allen.
(WEATHER DELAY, 1Q) #13 Scotland 14, Northern Durham 0
The Scots used a touchdown run by RJ Nicholson and a blocked punt returned for a touchdown to race out to a two-score advantage at Durham County Memorial Stadium before the game was suspended because of weather. The two teams will resume the game Monday night at 7 p.m., with 4:38 remaining in the first quarter.
#3 (West) Grimsley 56, #14 Clayton 0
The Comets had a rough go of it at the defending 4A champions, trailing 35-0 by halftime and never getting on the board.
#15 Leesville Road 18, Wakefield 8
The Pride used a receiving touchdown from Nasir Winston and a score via the ground by DJ Scott to open up the fall with a win. Leesville Road’s defense kept Wakefield off the board until running back Coleman Kraske scored for the Wolverines with just over three minutes remaining in the game.
#16 Hoggard 28, Northside (Jacksonville) 0
The Vikings were responsible for all the points in this one, and all the scoring took place in the first half. Each of Hoggard’s touchdowns came on the ground, as Sam Williams and Cayden Hollar went for two scores apiece.

#20 Heritage 36, Holly Springs 18
Heritage’s offense wasted no time in getting off to a fast start against Holly Springs, as the Huskies led 29-0 by the end of the first quarter. The game was delayed with just over six minutes left in the third quarter because of lightning and was eventually called and made a final for that same reason. Heritage quarterback Lex Thomas threw a 20-yard touchdown on the first pass of his varsity career early on in the win.
#21 Pine Forest, 8 Jack Britt 7
An explosive play made the difference in an otherwise defensive-minded game, as Pine Forest earned an 8-7 win on the road at Jack Britt.

Neither team scored in the second half.
#22 Washington 62, Pamlico County 20
The Pam Pack ended the game on a 28-0 run as they started off the year with a monster offensive performance, perhaps a sign of things to come for a group that’s returned their starting quarterback and running back from a year ago. Next up for Washington is a trip to First Flight in Kill Devil Hills.
