The New Bern Bears will face off against the Northern Guilford Nighthawks at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.
While Bears fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They breezed by Willow Spring on the road to the tune of 51-7 on Friday. The match was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Bears had established a 37 point advantage.
Terrance Mccormick had a dynamite game for New Bern, throwing for 247 yards and four touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes, and also rushing for 106 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries. A healthy portion of that aerial production (99 yards to be exact) went to Kaishawn Taylor, who also brought in a receiving touchdown.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, New Bern was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 458 total yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Willow Spring only gained 232.
New Bern didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Amari Reddick and Zion Wright.
Meanwhile, Northern Guilford made easy work of Eastern Guilford on Friday and carried off a 36-13 victory.
