The NCHSAA football season began with a grudge match, as Seventy-First hosted Terry Sanford to avenge last year's heartbreaker in a 59-14 win.
Though the Bulldogs earned their only two scores in the first half, they began fast and explosive, delivering a punch in the mouth to the Falcons, scoring on the third play from scrimmage on a 86-yard pass from Will Lake to Sebastian O'Keefe to open the game.
But Seventy-First came back with a punch of its own after taking over on offense.
On the first play at the line of scrimmage, senior Division I recruit Shon Pone found a hole in the right side of the field and burst through for a 53-yard touchdown run.
As Terry Sanford began its second drive, the Bulldogs came right back with another O'Keefe score from six yards out. Then, it was all Seventy-First for the next three quarters.
