Phillips Came Up Big in North Duplin's 48-0 Victory
Carell Phillips was instrumental in extending North Duplin's winning streak to five on Friday. Nobody could stop Phillips as he rushed for 152 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Unfortunately for Bear Grass Charter, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Phillips. Phillips rushed for 54 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 50 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Bears duked it out back in September of 2023.
