How The Sweet 16 fared
Friday’s recaps
Hickory Grove 35, South Wake 0: Hickory Grove Christian’s offense wasn’t up to speed Friday night, but the Lions’ defense stepped up in a 35-0 home victory over the South Wake Lions.
Hickory Grove Christian scored its first touchdown when Reed Rhodes recovered a fumble in the South Wake end zone, and an interception by Stephen Dickey set up the hosts’ second score. Kevin Powell returned an interception 36 yards midway in the second quarter for Hickory Grove’s third touchdown.
The Lions intercepted five South Wake passes and recovered two fumbles.
Metrolina Christian 27, North Raleigh 7: Alex Germano and Jeremy Williams each ran for a pair of touchdowns. DeAngelo Walker had eight tackles and an interception.
No. 1 Providence Day, shows a little rust, but rolls past Trinity Christian in opener
