📰 News we're reading

• Ferrum falls to North Greenville in football (wfxrtv.com) — Ferrum fans saw the Panthers hang close through three quarters at W.B. Adams Stadium before North Greenville pulled away late for a 41–10 win. Ferrum College's defense produced key stops after halftime, but two late interception returns and a fourth-quarter rushing score sealed the loss and kept the Panthers winless in Conference Carolinas play.
