Trey Snide and Ron Noel spoke with Vance Co. High School head football coach Hunter Jenks on SportsTalk about the upcoming football season which starts February 26th. With Covid 19 having delayed the start of football from late August to February and still an ongoing concern, Coach Jenks said the school and the team is adhering to strict Covid protocols. While the Vipers are having to share players with other sports, Jenks said “The players are eager to learn. I’m very happy.” Once basketball ends Jenks will be able to add another 18 players to his team. Jenks is pleased with his coaching staff and said that many nights the coaches work until 10:30 at night as they prepare for the season and an upcoming scrimmage against Goldsboro. When asked about the new conference that will feature more local teams next season Jenks said “Local rivalries are what makes high school sports.” WIZS will have live play by play of Vance Co.

Host John C. Rose and co-host Bill Harris speak with Erin Carter and Bratanya Simmons of Infinite Possibilities about Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month.
February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness month. On TownTalk today Erin Carter and Bratonya Simmons of Infinite Possibilities discussed the issue and talked about an upcoming event that addresses teen dating violence. The training event to be held virtually via Zoom this Friday from 1 to 2 pm and Carter says it “will help raise awareness of Teen Dating Violence”. Simmons stated that “A lot of teenagers don’t realize they are in an abusive relationship. I think that is due to a lot of teenagers are raised in domestic violence homes”. “Violence often begins between 6th grade and 12th grade”, Carter said. Most parents are unaware that their child is in a violent relationship because teenagers don’t talk about it with them. Carter said that Covid 19 has also put teenagers at a higher risk of abuse, including digital abuse online on social media platforms. The training event will address all components of Teenage Dating violence including social media. According to Carter, warning signs include behavioral changes and a loss of interest in activities they have previously enjoyed since an abusive person is looking to isolate their partner. Carter says that rehabilitation is an important step in helping not only victims recover from abuse but to the abuser as well. Victims sometimes can think that they are the cause of the abuse. Help and counselling can help the victims overcome these thoughts. It’s also important to remember that violence can be not only physical but emotional or even financial as well. Once again this training meeting via Zoom will take place Friday from 1 to 2 pm. You can see all the contact info at wizs.com for the training meeting, just click on the Infinite Possibilities logo.
