POTENTIAL COVID-19 ISSUE FOR WALLACE-ROSE HILL

This was the news no team wanted to hear and none of us who cover high school sports wanted to report. Wallace-Rose Hill's football team has received multiple positive COVID-19 tests ahead of Saturday's 2A football state championship game.

The news broke on Thursday when NCHSAA Commissioner Que Tucker confirmed the details.

It is not clear how many cases there are or if they involve players or staff members. However, it will be up to the Duplin County Health Department as to whether or not Wallace-Rose Hill will get to play on Saturday.

Stay tuned throughout the day on Friday, we expect an official word at some point.

OMARION HAMPTON NAMED GATORADE NC PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Cleveland High School running back and UNC commit Omarion Hampton was named the Gatorade North Carolina Player of the Year this week. The award is given to the top high school football player in the state each year.

Hampton is a four-star prospect, according to 247Sports.com.

WCPSS ATHLETIC DIRECTOR TO RECEIVE NATIONAL AWARD

Deran Coe, the district athletic director in Wake County, will receive a NFHS Citation later this month, a national award that recognizes individuals for their contributions to high school sports.

Coe has led athletics for the nation's 15th largest school district since 2013. He has been involved in numerous national organizations. Locally, he helped WCPSS become the first large district in the nation to implement the USA Football Heads Up program and added stunt as an extra athletic opportunity for females in Wake County.
