Mike Woodard and Cam Helt combined for 255 yards rushing and four touchdowns. Helt threw for 80 yards and two TDs on seven completions, including four to Quan Joyner for a total of 40 yards and one scoring strike.

"I'm really happy with where our team is right now," RHS coach Robert Britt said. "They are playing hard for one another and they are playing from whistle to whistle. I'm proud to be their coach."

North Duplin threw a season-high 18 times, with Emiliano Mora completing seven passes for 87 yards to five different receivers.

However, the teams combined for 278 penalty yards on 27 flags.

Rosewood (5-4 overall, 3-1 Carolina) is the guest of Spring Creek on Friday, while North Duplin (3-5, 0-3) faces state-ranked Princeton.

James Kenan 28, Lakewood 6

* SALEMBURG -- Lakewood held No. 2-ranked James Kenan to a single touchdown during opening-half action of their Carolina 1-A Conference game Friday evening.

The Tigers roared to life in the third quarter.

Kenan put up 21 points and rolled to a 28-6 victory behind Jaquan Williams' 109-yard rushing performance that included two touchdowns.

Quarterback Ken Avent III completed six of 15 passes for 122 yards and a touchdown. Greg Washington and John Brooks each caught three passes, including Washington's 72-yard TD grab in the first quarter.

D.H. Conley 35, Charles B. Aycock 7

* PIKEVILLE -- Charles B. Aycock posted a first-quarter touchdown against D.H. Conley, but suffered a 35-7 defeat in Eastern Carolina 3-A/4-A Conference play Friday evening.

TJ Morrow connected with Damien Darden on the strike. Morrow threw for 246 yards on 18 of 27 passing, but Aycock couldn't find the end zone more than once. Chandler Matthews caught seven passes for 129 yards, and Darden had six grabs 83 yards.

The Golden Falcons were one-dimensional, though as they never got their ground game going. Aycock ran for just 46 yards as a team and averaged 1.7 yards per carry.

Micah Castillo led CBA with 10 tackles and Morrow picked off a pass.

C.B. Aycock (4-5 overall, 1-3 ECC) visits South Central next Friday.

South Central 36, Southern Wayne 6

* DUDLEY -- Southern Wayne surrendered 30 points in the first half and couldn't recover in a 36-6 loss to South Central in Eastern Carolina 3-A/4-A Conference play Friday evening.

"We came out flat and did not play a very good first half," SW head coach David Lee said. "We missed some tackles on defense and could not get anything going on offense."

The Saints had a better second half, though, and were able to find some running room for Tyaire Allen, who had 24 carries for 109 yards. Dallas Graham managed 22 yards on nine carries and punched the ball into the end zone from 10 yards out.

Southern Wayne had 53 yards passing and threw two interceptions. Allen had six completions.

The Saints (0-8 overall, 0-3 ECC) are the guests of No. 2-ranked and unbeaten New Bern next Friday.
