Post game comments from head Coach Mark Snead stated, "This was another complete team effort from our guys.  We were strong in all three phases of the game tonight. We are playing well right now, but I really like the fact that the guys know we can play better.  We know what we need to work on and they will push themselves each day at practice to improve."

With the win RRHS improves to 4-0 on the season and in the Northern Carolina Conference.  Next up for the Yellow Jackets will be a trip to South Granville on Tuesday May 11.  This will be a JV/Varsity doubleheader.  The JV game will start at 4pm with the Varsity game to follow.
