So. Durham 45, East Chapel Hill 0

Travis Savage rushed for a game-high 94 yards and a touchdown on just six carries Monday as Southern Durham pounded East Chapel Hill in a PAC-Six game.

Kwindarius Sapp gave the Spartans a 1-2 punch on the ground, picking up 60 yards and running for a pair of TDs.

Allen Lea connected on 8 of 12 passes for 113 yards, most of it on a 67-yard TD pass to Tony Creecy on Southern's second play from scrimmage.

Spartans sack rival Pirates

In a game between two teams undefeated in conference play, the outcome wasn't even close.

Behind its balanced offense and menacing, stingy defense, Southern Durham staked its claim atop the Pac-6 Conference with a convincing 35-0 road victory over Durham Riverside on Friday night.

"We're glad to be on top," Spartans coach Adrian Jones said. "We now we control our own destiny. The last two years, we played around and got caught in a three-way tie, but now we are in the lead and want to keep it that way."

Triton edges Smithfield-Selma

Erwin Triton held off Smithfield-Selma, stopping a two-point conversion attempt with 14 seconds left, to claim a 28-26 victory in the nonconference high school football game.

Triton seemed in control, leading 28-14 with two minutes left, but the Spartans scored twice in the closing minutes.

Josh Snead, a Duke recruit, scored for SSS with 14 seconds left to finish the scoring.

Southern pulls out win

On a wet Friday night when many teams decided not to play, Southern Durham and Middle Creek decided to put together an offensive show.

As if the steady rain that fell throughout the game was not actually happening, the teams combined for 659 yards of total offense with the Spartans prevailing 28-21 in the schools' first meeting in football.

Desmond Lawrence carried 10 times for 169 yards and two touchdowns, including the deciding one halfway through the fourth quarter for Southern (2-0), while Alan Lee completed 8 of 14 passes for 112 yards and another score.

So. Durham 35, Laney 13

For the most part, Southern Durham's stingy defense was the main reason the Spartans won the PAC-Six championship and earned a 4-A first-round home playoff game against Wilmington Laney.

On Friday night, it was the offense's turn.

Southern's offense scored touchdowns on four plays of 57 yards or more, and the defense more than held its own in a 35-13 triumph over the Buccaneers.
