In a rare Thursday night showdown between two Orange County rivals, the Carrboro High Jaguars had themselves a game. Carrboro racked up three touchdowns, two onside kick recoveries and a safety… in the first quarter.
The East Chapel Hill High Wildcats proved no match for Carrboro Thursday, as the Jaguars rolled on the strength of a 24-0 first quarter to a dominant 50-0 victory.

Carrboro’s Walker Robinson got the party started with a short rushing score, before the Jaguars recovered the ensuing onside kick. On the very next play, Jaguars quarterback Calvin Martin delivered a strike to receiver Elijah Feaster, who scampered around, past and through the East Chapel Hill defense for a long touchdown. In the span of 13 seconds of game time, the Jaguars had scored 14 points.
Things only got worse for the Wildcats after that, as a bad snap on a punt out of the end zone resulted in a safety. On Carrboro’s next possession, running back Tivon Byrd scored another touchdown. After a failed two-point try, the score stood at 24-0 in favor of Carrboro.

But the highlight of the night (or lowlight, depending on which side of Orange County you’re on) came on the very first play of the second quarter. After initially lining up to punt, the Jaguars instead snapped the ball to Robinson, who followed a convoy of blockers around the right side of the line, gallivanting into the end zone for another touchdown. After the ensuing two-point conversion, the Jaguars’ lead stood at 32-0.
