Lloyd Foster Extra Effort Award

71st Quarterback Deandre Nance is this week’s recipient of the Lloyd Foster Extra Effort Award presented by Mid-South Sports. Deandre picked up almost 200 yards rushing and passing and scored 3 TDs as the Falcons defeated the Richmond Raiders 35-28. This award is sponsored by Jimmy Keefe, owner of The Trophy House and Clark Sporting Goods. Congratulations Deandre Nance!
The week two recipient of the Lloyd Foster Extra Effort Award is Jayson Franklin, junior running back for the Seventy-First Falcons for his performance against the Trojans of Pine Forest. Jayson’s stats were good- 123 yards rushing on just nine carries and scoring two touchdowns. But it was the manner in which he picked up those yards; twisting, cutting hard to avoid tacklers, and carrying tacklers to pick up extra yards to help his team. That earned him this award!   Congratulations Jayson!
The week three recipient of the Lloyd Foster Extra Effort Award is King Faison, running back for the Colts of Cape Fear. King amassed 145 yards on just 16 rushes and one touchdown against the Terry Sanford Bulldogs. King was instrumental in some key third downs that allowed his Colts to move the chains and post a 31 to 7 victory. With King is head coach Jacob Thomas. Congrats King Faison!
The Week Four recipient of the Lloyd Foster Extra Effort Award is Emorrian Towns, junior running back for the Jack Britt Buccaneers for his performance in the 21-20 victory over the  Scotland County Fighting Scots. Two big plays from Emorrian set the stage for this award. In the third quarter, with the Bucs leading 8-6, Emorrian squirted through a hole and went 58 yards for the score. But the big play, with Scotland approaching the goal line, Emorrian jumped into the scrum, came out with ball, and sprinted all the way inside the Scots 20 yard line to set up another Britt score.  Congrats Emorrian Towns!
The Week Five recipient of the Lloyd Foster Extra Effort Award is Zymeir McPhaul for the game he played helping his Seventy-First Falcons defeat the Tigers of South View. The senior offensive tackle created block after block opening huge holes for his running backs to run through and on many occasions “pancaked” his opponent to the point the running backs scored untouched. Congratulations Zymeir McPhaul!
The Week Six recipient of the Lloyd Foster Extra Effort Award is sophomore running back Tai Phillips for helping his Cape Fear Colts defeat the Rams of Purnell Swett by the score of 38-0. Tai played on offense picking up almost 160 yards and rushing for two touchdowns. He also played defense and Special Teams, rarely coming off the field!  Standing with Tai is the head coach of the Colts, Jacob Thomas. Congratulations Tai Phillips!
   
   
   
   
In round two of the NCHSAA playoffs, Quarterback Deandre Nance of the Seventy-First Falcons has been selected as the Lloyd Foster Extra Effort recipient for his actions in the Falcon win over Burlington Williams. Deandre ran for a career high 204 yards on 20 carries and scored four touchdowns on runs of 8, 17,31 and 2 yards. He also ran for a two point conversion. On defense, he had one tackle and intercepted the final pass to end the game!  Standing with Deandre is coach McMillan. Congratulations Deandre Nance!
Senior outside linebacker Zayvion Hill of the Seventy-First Falcons is the recipient of the Lloyd Foster Extra Effort Award in the third round of the NCHSAA playoffs. Zayvion had 13 tackles, three for loss and one sack in the Falcon victory over Wilson Fike; an outstanding night of football!! Standing next to Zayvion is defensive coordinator coach Eric Hall. Congratulations Zayvion Hill!!
