Blocked punt propels Green Hope to win over Cary

By Dave Malenick, Correspondent

MORRISVILLE - Green Hope senior Adam Parent scored the winning touchdown on a blocked punt with 2:39 left to propel Green Hope to a 20-17 come-from-behind win over Tri-Nine rival Cary on Friday.

The Falcons, who were celebrating their senior night, trailed the entire game until the blocked punt. Cary led 17-0 and enjoyed a 17-6 advantage entering the final quarter.

“I’m just really proud of all these kids, and so happy for our seniors, “ said Green Hope head coach Kwame Dixon. “All I heard from people when I got here was get Green Hope down and they’ll quit. Well, I haven’t seen any of that. All I see is a bunch of kids fighting to the end, and tonight was a perfect example.”

Cary (4-5, 3-4) will need to win next week against Athens Drive to have a shot at the playoffs. The Imps scored all of their points in the first half to take a three-score lead.
