Carrboro

Carrboro excelled on Friday in its 49-28 defeat of the Fairmont Golden Tornadoes, extending its postseason through the Thanksgiving holiday.

Torrell Farrar’s hot streak continued to propel the Jags’ running game, as he bulldozed down the field for 243 of Carrboro’s 325 yards of rushing offense.

As usual, the Jaguars (10-3) leapt out to an early lead. Carrboro scored three touchdowns – two TD receptions from Juan Chavarriaga and a 2-yard run from Torell Farrar – before Fairmont (7-6) found the end zone.

The lead stood at 22-8 after the first half of play, and Carrboro refused to let up in the second. In a continuation of his breakout performance against Whiteville, Farrar produced another two touchdowns and was aided by another 64-yard connection from quarterback Derek Bryant to Chavarriaga, in addition to a 13-yard scramble into the end zone by Bryant himself. Their combined efforts more than compensated for star receiver Nassar Omar’s absence. Omar was injured early in the game and left the field with just one 12-yard reception.

Despite occasional challenges from Fairmont, Carrboro didn’t allow its momentum to be broken. The Tornadoes found a spark when they returned a kickoff 73 yards for a touchdown, but it was extinguished almost immediately by a Jaguar scoring drive culminating in a Farrar TD.

Carrboro’s playoff run will continue following this week’s Thanksgiving holiday (see spotlight).
