Congratulations to the Hibriten High School Panthers (my alma mater) for winning the 2017 NC 2AA Football Championship! It was our first team state championship and they brought it home in grand fashion with a hard fought win in the snow at Kenan Stadium. Congrats also to a very solid, hard hitting East Duplin team that never quit. Both teams entered yesterdays game at 15-0 and it was an instant classic!

Hibriten was where I did my student teaching, under Coach Ernest Stroupe. Good school. The stadium was named after one of the students in one of my classes who died of bone cancer.

Got to give a shout out to Mario Acitelli's alma mater Charlotte Catholic for their 3-A state championship. ( and no they don't recruit and didn't want to move down to 3-A from 4-A)

NewApp you might not know that Ernie Stroupe's step son is the DC for Hibriten! And yes, they gave up an average of 5.06 points per game to opposing offenses! That's some stout D!
