Independence used two big plays, one through the air and then junior running back Jayden Jones sliced through the Myers Park defense for a nice touchdown run. Jones put up video game numbers as a sophomore and is having a big first quarter.

Probably around 500 students here for Myers Park, which is impressive.

Independence is up 10-0 with 5:43 left in the first quarter.

I saw something about a leg injury as well as concussion. Anybody heard anything definitive?

This is an easy one to fact check:

Hill was in the class of 2012 and T.J. Graham's senior year was 2011, so they had nothing to do with each other.

Hill had no grades, hence junior college.

And for people who think it would be great to have Hill in college, they should look up what he did while at Oklahoma State, which hasn't been an isolated incident.

However, it makes for an entertaining reel that will fool thousands.

NC State athletic director Boo Corrigan is having his first press conference with the local media since the day he got hired May 1, 2019.

The recruiting journey of Charlotte Providence Day senior left tackle David Sanders has ended with Tennessee. This is on heels of getting defensive end Daevin Hobbs and wide receiver Nathan Leacock in 2023 and quarterback Faizon Brandon in 2026 from Greensboro Grimsley. They also have a current commitment from defensive tackle Charles House of Huntersville North Mecklenburg.

I think Men's soccer, and their new coach, opened tonight with a 3-2 victory over High Point.

Something we'll likely see more of as the chasm between the have's and have nots widens.
