Here's the article from Tuesday's Dispatch about our all-area team:

If you ever walk the halls at Southern Vance High School, you’re likely to be bombarded by any number of slogans.
One of them — “it takes teamwork to make the dream work” — aptly describes the 2006 Raider football team.
The team’s run to a 2AA State Championship appearance captivated a community and led to praise for both players and coaches.
The latest accolades come today.
Junior quarterback Jamere Pugh, pictured at right, is the Daily Dispatch Player of the Year and David Jennings is the Coach of the Year.
Pugh chased down Webb’s Antwan Thorpe for top honors with a remarkable postseason, including a 304-yard, four TD game against Forest Hills in the 2AA Eastern Finals and a superior effort in the later stages of the title game against Shelby.
Jennings, at right, led the Raiders to their first-ever state title game appearance and is already the school’s all-time
leader in victories.
