Early in the 2nd Landon Trott added a 35 yard field goal to give the Spiders a 10-0 lead.
The Trojans got on the board midway through the 2nd quarter with a 24 yard touchdown pass from Richard McEachern to Jordan Gladney.
With seconds left in the first half Bell found Joe Bond who hauled in an 8 yard touchdown pass. The drive was kept alive by a spectacular catch by wide receiver Ikym Hall. <photo>
Bond’s catch pushed the Spiders to a 17-7 halftime.
Pine Forest freshman quarterback Jadon Jones provided a spark for the Trojans in the 2nd half.
Jones scored from 11 yards out to get the Trojans with striking distance at 17-13.
After a Spider punt Jones hit Rowdell Robinson on the slant. 63 yards later the Trojans had a 19-17 lead with just over 10 minutes remaining.
After giving up scores on two straight possessions the Spiders needed a spark. Antonio Campbell came through with a 90 yard kickoff return touchdown. The Spiders reclaimed the lead and never looked back.
On the next possession Spider linebacker Clint Bost, Jr. stepped in front of a Trojan pass and set the Spiders up at midfield.
Landon Trott hit his second field goal of the night, this time from 26 yards to give the Spiders a 9 point cushion with minutes remaining.
The Spider defense buckled down and Emmanuel Arias broke up a 4th down pass to effectively end the Trojan threat.
He didn’t find the endzone but sophomore tailback L.J. Currie had a sparkling performance. Currie rushed for 173 yards on 27 carries.
The Spider defense came through when it mattered most. Clint Bost Jr. and Jordain Heilig paced the Spiders with 7 solo stops each. The duo
Rick Sandidge had 2 sacks and Joe Coleman added one sack.

Concord went on the road for the first time in the 2006 playoffs Friday night and defeated the host Yellow Jackets 24-13.
It was a strong team effort with the defense and offense both making play after play. The Yellow Jackets had won 13 straight after losing their first game of the season.
The Spiders opened the scoring in the 1st quarter as Dee Bost found Lance Lewis on a 27 yard pass play. Chad Myers would add a 20 yard field goal to extend the Concord lead to 10-0 early in the second quarter. The Spiders would strike again as Roger Smith took a screen pass 71 yards to put the Spiders up 17-0. Carver would put together a solid drive which resulted in a touchdown on Rashaun Brown's 20 yard run. Concord would threaten again but the drive ended when Bost's pass was intercepted near the Carver goal line.
The Spiders took the second half kickoff and established quickly who would control the second half. Roger Smith capped the drive with a 2 yard touchdown run. Carver would add another score with a short touchdown pass, but their 2 point conversion attempt failed. The Concord defense would force a turnover late and the game ended with Dee Bost taking a knee near the Carver goal line.
Concord's 24 points were the most given up by Carver this season. Dee Bost finished 16-27 for 383 yards and 2 touchdowns. Five different receivers caught a pass for the Spiders. Jimmy Drye led all receivers with 98 yards on 4 catches. Roger Smith added 70 yards rushing with a touchdown run and catch. Fullback Mike Moore would add 57 yards as well.
The Spider defense stepped up and contained the potent Carver rushing attack. Calvin Hillie had a monster night with 14 tackles. Mike Moore added a fumble recovery.
With the win the Spiders advance to the 3A Championship game against Western Alamance. It is the Spider's second trip to the final in 3 seasons. The Championship game will be played at N.C. State's Carter Finley Stadium Saturday at 12PM.

BUILDING A CYBER FAN BASE
A.L. Brown, other schools now have presence on Web
Internet sites give fans a place to go for team news, stats and history
JOE HABINA
Special Correspondent
When Lane Stribling set out to create a Web site dedicated to the Kannapolis A.L. Brown High School football team, he wasn't deterred by even the greatest challenge.
A lifetime Kannapolis resident, Stribling was unknowingly researching much of the future site's content during 40 years of attending nearly every Wonders game.
But there was one problem. He barely knew his way around a computer.
Like several other local residents who recently turned their prep football passion into an e-pastime, the techno-challenged Stribling labored through, and today he has one of the most comprehensive prep football Web sites in the area.
Kannapolisfootball.com is full of Kannapolis football history, updated statistics for this year's team and many other extras. (Also check out southrowanfootball.com, facseagles.com and the developing concordspiders.com.)
Library helped
Stribling, a retired mill worker, said he started researching material for the site about five years ago. By frequenting the history room at the Kannapolis branch of the Cabarrus County library, he uncovered newspaper articles and photographs from 80 years ago.Highlights of the Kannapolis football site include a couple of historical pages that chronicle the football team, the Kannapolis City Schools system and A.L. Brown's Memorial Stadium. Included are a couple of photographs from Kannapolis' first high school team in 1924.
Particularly appealing are the pages documenting every A.L. Brown season since 1952, the year that school opened. Coaches' names, team records, key players and a couple of paragraphs tell the story of each season.
Stats upon stats
The "For the Record" page includes tidbits on coaching records, records against certain opponents and Wonders' players who have represented the team in season-ending all-star games. And you probably won't find this many statistics for the Wonders' team and the other South Piedmont Conference teams in the same place anywhere else.
Stribling said he puts in as many as 15 to 20 hours a week updating the site. It costs him about $85 annually to run it.
"I love the fact that I can do this for all the players, coaches and fans that have been such a big part," he said. "It's the least I can do for all the great moments these teams have given us over such a long, long time.
"I hope to be around a long, long time and to continue to make this Web site the very best I can make it."
Runs site from a distance
Chris Hughes spends most of his time serving his country. He spends his spare time serving his high school alma mater.Hughes, a former South Rowan football player and assistant coach, produces southrowanfootball.com from more than 100 miles away. He is in the Army at Fort Bragg -- a sergeant working with a special operations medical team. Hughes travels back to Landis each fall Friday and, usually, one other time during the week to supervise the team's game-day video productions and to get material for the Web site.
A self-proclaimed sports-history nut, he said he started compiling information on South Rowan about the time he became an assistant coach in 1999.
On the day before official practice began last year, Hughes said, he spent about three hours getting it off the ground and within a few days had a full-fledged site.
With the help of newspaper files, Hughes researched the score from every South game since the school opened in 1961. Based on that information, he has Raiders' scores sorted by opponents, coaches and decades, each with its own page.
Because individual statistics were not as important to fans and readers decades ago, Hughes' "school records" reach only as far back as the mid-'70s, but they are pretty thorough. The site has inclusive offensive statistics for every South team since 1992.
"Parents can look at their child on there," first-year South Rowan coach Jason Rollins said. "The kids like it because they can see things on there like who the player of the week is. It helps us as a staff, because we can put things on there that the kids need to see."
Rollins has embraced the site and considers it one of the tools he can use to turn the football program around. The "Head Coach Corner" page allows Rollins to post Players of the Week and information on team workouts.
Hughes said the South Rowan booster club has approached him about producing an all-sports Web site. He said he already has sites in the works for the boys' basketball and baseball teams, but plans on turning the maintenance of them over to those sports' coaches.
Web idea is growing
First Assembly's site, facseagles.com, and Concord's concordspiders.com provide their teams' fans with basic information, such as roster and schedule, and game capsules written by the sites' respective administrators. Both sites have a collection of quality game-action photographs.
The Concord site is aiming to set a high standard, with pages under construction for a team history, season-by-season results, and individual records.
What type of impact has the Internet had on prep football teams? Hughes' southrowanfootball.com has had almost 35,000 hits in its 14 months.
That's about five times the combined population of Landis and China Grove, the two towns South Rowan High primarily serves.

Currie ranks 3rd in Spider History with 312 yards in Spider win
Written by Ed Conway
L.J. Currie rushed for 312 yards to propel Concord past Phillip O. Berry Friday night at Cardinal Stadium. Currie's 312 total is the 3rd highest single game rushing total in Spider history. View records here.
Currie carved through the Cardinal defense for two scores in the first half. Currie ran every play on the first Spider drive and scored on a screen pass on the 2nd possession.
Berry answered with two quick strike touchdown passes to get within two points.
The Spiders spent much of the first half in Berry territory but two red zone turnovers and numerous penalties squashed their scoring chances.
Halftime adjustments proved to work for the Spiders.
Currie and the offensive line continued the rushing assault in the 2nd half.
The Spiders marched down the field to open the 3rd quarter. Jadon Bell plunged in on a 1 yard keeper to put the Spiders up 21-12.
Once again Berry hit the deep pass for another score.
Currie and the offensive line would add 2 more rushing scores in the 3rd to give the Spiders a bit of a cushion.
Zyion Boger picked off a Cardinal pass in the 4th.
Jourdan Heilig came on in relief of Currie late and added his own rushing touchdown from 49 yards.
After the game Currie was quick to credit his offensive line.
The Spider defense was led by Clint Bost Jr., Emmanual Arias, and Zyion Boger each had 4 stops. Boger added 2 interceptions. Sia Olomua and Louis Williams added sacks.
Friday night was the first meeting between the schools.

The Spiders defeated Anson 34-3 Friday night at Robert C. Bailey Stadium.
The first half saw both defenses hold the offenses in check. Concord had a couple of scoring opportunities but could not capitalize due to miscues and penalties. The first half ended with both teams scoreless.
Anson WR Rasaun Rorie took the 2nd half kickoff and returned it to the Concord 21 yard line. That would setup a 32 yard field goal from Dakota Martinez. Anson stopped Concord on the next possesion, but the Spider defense would step up. Spider DB Lance Lewis intercepted QB Dennis Rorie's pass and returned it 41 yards for a touchdown.

Spiders set to open 2021-22 season Friday at Jay M Robinson
While the recent stretch of 90+ degree days may have browned the grass of the Carolinas, the Concord Spiders were using that same heat to forge steel in preparation for the upcoming season. The hot days only ramped up the intensity during summer camp, something the coaching staff was pleased to see.
“We worked hard this summer, in the heat and the rain and whatever else came our way.” said head coach Marty Paxton. “I think we got better. But there’s only one way to find out.”
“We’ll see what happens when the pads come on,” said defensive coordinator Ryan Crowder. The Concord assistant is hardly the first football coach to make that statement, but there’s a reason for that: it’s true.
“Players can look great in 7-on-7 drills, they can put up numbers in the weight room or in sprints,” explained Paxton. “But you never really find out about a football player until we’re out here in helmets and shoulder pads -- until we’re actually playing football.”
Following a summer of conditioning, the Spiders opened their 2021-22 season with a scrimmage against Hickory that provided the coaching staff with more answers as to who will lead the way this fall.. As opening day nears, the identity of this year’s squad has started to take shape,
DEFENSE
Defensively, the Spiders are anchored by Jameson Hackett at nose tackle and Elijah Smith on the edge. Hackett and Smith have the potential to cause matchup problems for opponents, while returning starters Joey Reali and Will Howard give Concord plenty of options up front. Jarrell Smith, Tre Williams and Jay Nichols will also be part of what looks to be a deep rotation.
Linebacker Tristan Pitman will team-up with fellow senior Brenden Crowder at the outside linebacker “spider” position. Pitman was one of the team’s standouts this summer and looks to emerge as a leader of the 2021 Spider defense. Crowder is coming off a successful junior season and the duo is bolstered by the return of junior Benny Hope.
Inside, David Irvin currently leads the way, but there are several other names to keep an eye on this fall. My’kell Morris has impressed over the summer, as has Elijah Horton. Sophomore Keyon Phillips saw the field as a freshman and figures to make a bigger impact this coming season. Another positive from summer camp has been the development of sophomore Ethan Treadway, whose strength and athleticism may force coaches to find a place for him.
The secondary will be led by safety Kadin Presutti and cornerbacks Shimill Flake and Antonio Jackson. David Chavez Bibliano is coming off strong summers and appears poised to make an impact at corner, while Nylon Fair Steele has the speed to run with anybody in the conference. Keyon Phillips could see time in the secondary as well.
OFFENSE
Offensively, it starts with senior quarterback Zack Jenkins. After taking the vast majority of snaps as a junior, Jenkins’ second year as a starter should allow Paxton to go deeper into the playbook this fall.
“Zack’s really blossomed into a leader for us,” said Paxton..”We need him to continue to step up because our guys will follow him.”
Concord has plenty of options as they look to replace graduated seniors Jacori James and Kevin Rodgers in the backfield. Keveus Phillips gained valuable experience backing up James a season ago, while Benny Hope’s return adds another ball carrier to the mix. In addition,Presutti, Flake, and Keyon Phillips -- the younger brother of Keveus -- all carried the football from the slot last year and should be options in the running game once again. The younger Phillips will back-up Jenkins at QB.
Wide receiver Kobe Watts-Williams leads an experienced group that also includes Presutti, Flake, and Phillips. Tight ends Tristan Pitman and David Irvin should be valuable contributors to the offense as well. Fair-Steele is looking to break out and earn playing time this fall after putting in time as a reserve last season. Sophomore Damichael Lyerly, also a talented basketball player, impressed in the scrimmage against Hickory and could add more athleticism to the offensive attack.
Despite the abundance of returners at the skill positions, however, the Concord offense will only go as far as the offensive line takes them. Fortunately for the 2021 Spiders, the entire line returns with experience and depth. Caius Hartsell -- a 3rd team preseason all-state selection -- anchors a unit that Paxton has called “the heart of our offense.” The line also includes returning starters Bryant Cruz, Bryson Overcash, Joseph Reali, and Will Howard. Jackson Joseph started a couple games as a freshman and provides depth inside, while junior.Justin Garland is the top reserve outside.
The 2021 season gets underway officially when the Spiders visit Jay M Robinson on August 20.

Hunter Huss defeated Concord 19-14 in a hard fought contest.
Read MoreHuss wasted little time scoring on their second offensive play on quarterback Marshall Williams' 80 yard touchdown run. Later in the 1st quarter Concord tied the game when Denzel Phillips rambled 45 yards for a touchdown.
Defense and turnovers were the theme in the second quarter. There were several exchanges after 3 and out possessions. Huss was in scoring position but the Spider defense forced a fumble near the goalline. Just before halftime Williams added a short touchtown to put the Huskies up 13-7 at the break.
Concord received the kickoff to start the second half but were unable to control the ball. Huss took over near the Concord 20 yard line but the Spider defense came up with another turnover. Later in the 3rd Concord quarterback Jacquise Moore found Elijah Bost over the middle for a 90 yard touchdown pass. Brandon Barnhardt added the extra point to put the Spiders ahead 14-13. Huss moved down the field again but were once again denied points as Spider defensive back Ryan Goodman blocked a 30 yard field goal attempt.
Early in the 4th Concord fumbled the pitch on an option run. Huss took advantage as Williams found his receiver on a jump ball in the endzone. Concord stopped the 2 point conversion attempt.
On the ensuing kickoff the Concord returner ran into his own man and fumbled. Concord's defense held and stopped the Huskies on a 4th down run. After a Concord punt the defense stopped another Huskie 4th down run to setup one more chance for the Spiders. Senior quarterback Sean Willix had some success leading the Spiders down the field but the Huskies stopped the Spiders on a 4th down pass.
With Concord out of time outs and the game seemingly over Huss fumbled the ball one more time. Concord drove to the Huss 35 yard line but were unable to score.
Jacquise Moore took most of the snaps at quarterback finishing 7-9 with 149 yards. Denzel Phillips led the Spiders with 57 yards rushing. Elijah Bost led Concord with 112 yards receiving.
Jalen Brown paced the Spider defense with 11 tackles. Bradley Phillips, Jacquise Moore, and Taj Williams each recovered a fumble.
