Chapel Hill unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. The matchup between the Panthers and the Campbell Spartans didn't end well, with the Panthers falling 21-7. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it nine in a row.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Campbell to victory, but perhaps none more so than Davin Lemire, who threw for 226 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 72 yards and one TD. Those 72 rushing yards gave Lemire a new career-high. A healthy portion of Lemire's aerial production (157 yards to be exact) went to Nick Buggs, who also brought in a receiving touchdown.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Chapel Hill will welcome Osborne at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. As for Campbell, they will look to defend their home field on Friday against South Forsyth at 7:30 p.m.
