In a Battle of the Panthers, the storyline coming away from Oakwood was about a bearded tailback from Twin Valley.
Folks on the other side of the Dismal River thought a coal truck was putting in an extra shift ahead of Hurricane Florence.
However, the only rumbling in Buchanan County last Thursday was Twin Valley tailback Brandon Lester.
The senior tailback ran the ball 22 times for 195 yards and five touchdowns in Twin Valley’s matchup with Northwood.…

For Twin Valley, their lone touchdown of the evening came from a familiar face. Panthers running back Brandon Lester found the end zone and converted the two-point conversion to put Twin Valley on the board in the fourth quarter.…
