Princeton earned a 21-13 victory Friday night to move into the third round of the 1-A state high school football playoffs. The Bulldogs (10-3) scored 14 third-quarter points to take control of the game.
David Gurganus threw for 269 yards on the night, while Patrick Jacobs had 155 yards receiving.
We'll have more on the Bulldogs' win and their next opponent in Wednesday's edition of The Herald of Johnston County.
D. Clay Best has served as the sports editor of The Herald since 1997 and has covered high school sports since 1992. He's gone through many neighborhoods of NFL-fandom including the Cowboys, Raiders and Patriots and is in limbo right now. If that's not enough to require therapy, he also has way too much brain space filled with useless info on the legendary '80s TV series "Miami Vice."
