Tension on the Court

By Ehren Rolle

After a devastating loss by the Junior Varsity boys basketball team, tension sparked between Pamlico and New Bern barstools. A barstool is a student-run account that many schools use to post about activities and sport events. Before the Friday night game, New Bern Barstool posted negative comments regarding the JV team. This drove Pamlico Barstool to make a post pointing out the varsity girls win, despite the prior predictions of New Bern. Coach Nick Lewis got involved in the drama by posting, "4A bragging about beating a undermanned 1A JV team? As if we didn't have plenty of fuel for the fire...," alongside pictures of several past wins against New Bern. Things started to get personal, and shots were fired at Coach Lewis when New Bern Barstool responded with, "Nice history lesson, dork." The barstool rivalry is still ongoing, but as the season progresses, we will see if our JV boys can gain some respect from the rivals.
