The conference races are winding up, and a few of our Johnston County schools are in the mix for league titles and/or playoff spots.

Let’s dive in:

Greater Neuse River 4A

Willow Spring and Garner have pulled away from the field in the GNR 4A, but Corinth Holders and Cleveland are locked in a fight for third place. The Rams’ 4-3 win over Corinth Holders on Tuesday may prove pivotal on that front.

Quad County 3A

As you may have heard live on JoCo Sports last week, South Johnston remained perfect in league play with a win over C.B. Aycock. West Johnston has actually nudged past the Falcons for second with just a few games left.
