Cape Fear (2-2) never had much breathing room on the Wolverines' home field. Westover scored on its opening drive as Christopher Brown caught a 59-yard pass from Eric Kline, and the Wolverines got the ball right back with Jamar Clark's fumble recovery on Cape Fear's first possession.
Senior Venson Council's vicious defense helped the Colts force a punt, but the Wolverines forced another fumble, this one recovered by Devin Walker deep in Colts territory. Still, Cape Fear's defense held and with the ball back in his hands, Geronimo Sanchez found Chosen Wynn for a 28-yard touchdown reception to tie it up at 7. Underwood would follow up with his first touchdown on a 23-yard catch, escaping a defender to score, and a conversion put Cape Fear up 15-7 at the end of the first quarter.
Brown's second TD catch got Westover within 15-13 after a failed PAT, and Jamarcus Glenn's interception stopped the Colts' last drive before halftime. But they responded after the break. Underwood scored his second touchdown with a second-half-opening kickoff return to give Cape Fear a 22-13 lead it wouldn't relinquish, although the Wolverines got close.
Joseph Tunewald caught a pass from Kline in the middle of the flat and sprinted 60 yards for a 70-yard catch-and-run score to get Westover within 22-20 in the third quarter. Later that quarter, a would-be Cape Fear touchdown pass was called back for holding, and the Wolverines recovered yet another fumble on the next play.
But Underwood would ultimately seal it for the Colts with the hat trick. After scoring on a catch and kickoff return, the junior added a rushing TD on a 53-yard run for the final tally.
Pine Forest gets first win for Coach Kevin Inman
It took two overtimes, but Pine Forest defeated E.E. Smith 33-27 on Friday to deliver coach Kevin Inman his first win as the Trojans' leader.
David Awolumate and Perry Moore combined for 97 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns, and Jaidon Moore threw for 106 yards and a TD.
The rebuilding Trojans are 1-3 heading into next week's game at Cape Fear, while E.E. Smith (1-3) travels to Gray's Creek.
Seventy-First's Shon Pone goes off
The Falcons started the season with a rare loss, but they've responded with three straight wins, the most recent a 32-15 decision over Hoke County in Week 4 as junior Shon Pone outscored the Bucks all by himself.
Pone put up 265 rushing yards and ran for four touchdowns, averaging 13.3 yards per carry as the Falcons improved to 3-1 heading into a Week 5 showdown against Britt.
R'maunni Watson passed for 135 yards, with sophomore JaSiaha Nance getting 70 yards on 4 catches.
