ROANOKE RAPIDS - Chaloner Middle School's football team beat Brawley 7-6 in a home game Wednesday.
The Yellow Jackets scored six points on a 39-yard touchdown run by A.J. Alston with 5:46 left in the first quarter. Kicker Stephen Vassor then came on and made good on an extra point attempt that ultimately proved to be the difference in the game.
