Rolesville, N.C. Rolesville survived some early scares against Hoggard before going on to beat the Vikings 47-30 in the second round of the NCHSAA 4AA East playoffs.
Hoggard held early leads of 3-0, 10-3, 10-9, and 17-16 before Rolesville kicked things into a higher gear.
Right before halftime, Rolesville kicker Devin Versteegen gave the Rams the lead on a 33-yard field goal. On the ensuing Hoggard, possession, the Vikings fumbled. Soon after the turnover, Rolesville quarterback Byrum Brown found sophomore receiver Noah Rogers for a 37-yard shot up the left sideline.
