He had 75 yards rushing on the night.

Paige Summers, junior for King’s Fork High School cross country: She helped her regionals-bound team take second in the Conference 17 championships by taking fourth overall individually in the girls’ 5,000-meter run on Tuesday at Bells Mill Park in Chesapeake. She achieved fourth by finishing in 21 minutes and 30.21 seconds.
