Eastern Wayne's next trip to Reidsville might be graduation day -- just to make sure Dionte Neal picks up his diploma.
They visited in November and watched Dionte return a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown, return a punt 56 yards for a touchdown, run for a 65-yard touchdown, run for a 21-yard touchdown and receive a 13-yard TD pass. Reidsville won the second-round playoff game 41-24 as Dionte posted 348 all-purpose yards and five touchdowns.
They drove from Goldsboro again in March and watched Dionte post 28 points and 7 assists despite a harassing defense designed to stop him. Reidsville won the fourth-round playoff game 81-71.
Is there a stronger word than wow?
Note: I edited this to add the kickoff return .... sorry I missed that earlier.
