As we close in on our 10-year anniversary in the magazine business (more on that in May), I’m still struck by the most impactful piece of business advice we’ve ever gotten.
It seems our printer is experiencing a mechanical issue, which has delayed the shipping of our September print edition. We expect it to be out for local delivery early next week. Until then, please check out the digital edition:
In the September edition, we get to know the folks at Coates Hearing Clinic.

This just in from our friends at the Town of Smithfield.
KENLY — Sometimes a coach’s family needs can intersect with a good career move. Kyle Schenk and North Johnston are hoping that’s the case.
From the shameless promotion department, we're still selling spots on the JoCo Sports Game of the Week broadcast for high school football, which starts in 17 days. We've got some entry level spots available, which is great for small businesses who'd like to be a part of what we're doing.
BENSON — Lee Webb’s third season at the helm of his alma mater ended with South Johnston on the wrong end of a narrow 28-21 decision at Currituck County last fall.
The laundry list of things for a head football coach to do in July is more extensive than one might think. It includes things like 7-on-7 schedules, jamboree planning, roster planning and conditioning plans.
CLAYTON — It’s hard to find a football program in North Carolina with a period of sustained success that matches Cleveland.
The 2023 football season was already in the books for American Leadership Academy when its fortunes for 2024 and beyond changed dramatically.
While the focus of this issue of the magazine is on the skillful athletes on football fields across Johnston County, I’d like to take a moment to call your attention to another batch of extremely talented students, too. Our local performing arts programs are packed full of brilliant and capable ki...
“Self-discipline starts with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don’t control what you think, you can’t control what you do.” — Napoleon Hill commitment to their cause and their relentless pursuit of excellence makes them iconic figures of self-discipline.
PRINCETON — Last season could have gone either way for Princeton. A three-game skid left it at 3-3 overall as the calendar flipped to October, but the Bulldogs bounced back to win six of their last seven before bowing out in the third round of the playoffs.
High school football is, by its nature, a cyclical sport. So, when Clayton had seven returning starters on its offense for the 2023 season, the bill for that experience would come due at some point when those players moved on.
