Fayetteville finished the year 0-10.



Correction

Summers County’s Matt Ryan should have been credited with a 55-yard touchdown reception, not Isaiah Brown, in a story detailing the Bobcats’ 28-20 win over Valley in Saturday’s edition of The Register-Herald. Ryan finished the game with three receptions for 86 yards.
