Aycock shuts out Vikings

KINSTON -- Thoms Pilkington threw three touchdown passes and went 8-for-11 for 1984 yards as Charles B. Aycock;'s JV team beat Kinston 38-0 Thursday night.

Joseph Toler, Fred McClain and Kyle Williams all had rushing touchdowns for the Falcons, with Timothy Alston, Erik Taylro and Daniel Pennington catching touchdown passes. Aycock ran for 264 yards, with Williams carrying the ball 15 times for 85 yards to lead the attack. Toler hauled in two passes for 75 yards.

McClain and Trevario Uzzell both had five tackles and a sack each to pace the Aycock defense. The Falcons (4-1) take on West Craven on Thursday.

Correction

In Sunday's story about the Charles B. Aycock football game, a typographical error incorrectly reflected the tackle totals for Cortez Giblert, who had 14 solo tackles in the game against Kinston. We regret the error.
