Varsity Softball

The softball team has worked very hard this season. Winning the game with SE Halifax 20-0. Katelyn Knox, Kaylie Mitchum, Savannah Babb, Hayden Boyette, Nicole Jeffreys, and Kaliee White all had RBIs. Although the next game with Hobgood Charter School produced 4 RBIs hit by Kaylie Mitchum, Savannah Babb, Kaliee White, and Natalie Bunting, the ending score resulted in 7-17, a loss for our team. During this game, Hobgood, who had only 2 outs, returned to the dugout. The referee allowed the team to retake the field, which is against the rules. The game to Perquimans, unfortunately also resulted in a loss with the score being 1-20. Nevertheless, our NECP softball team works diligently to become better. Way to go team!

Varsity Track

NECP’s first ever track meet produced a great performance by both our track teams.

Chadwick Barnes received first place in the long jump. William Freeman came in third for the Shot Put event with a distance of 28.8. In the last relay Tyquaze Staton, Cicere Lancaster, Caleb Anderson, and Chadwick Barnes won with a time of 4.6. Cicere said, “It was a tough finish, we were neck and neck at the end”, he continued smiling, “but we won”.

Semajah Dickens came in first in the 100 meter Dash with a time of 13.8. She commented, “I felt it when I was running, but I was very happy when I won”. The 4x2 race yielded NECP 2nd place, 8 seconds behind Tarboro High. Hats off to Hannah Barfield, who ran the entire time in the 1600 meter race and was the only girl running.
