The way the ball bounces

Despite a thorough 89-0 drubbing at the hands of defending 2A champions Burlington Cummings, the first-ever football game at Carrboro High School was the social event of the season.

Above, Jaguar defense end Dequan Bradley (80) chases a loose ball after batting down a Cummings pass, as fellow Jaguar Brandon Hunter (74) looks on.

Below, parents, family members and fans lined the home-side track in lawn chairs, enjoying the relative cool of the evening. Especially taking his ease was 5-year-old John Caraher, below, stretched out on the asphalt watching the action.
