NC State is down to just a pair of verbal commitments still playing, and both of them have advanced to state title games.
Here is how they did last Friday in helping lead their respective teams to victories.
Last Game: Martin had a 73-yard touchdown run on a fake punt and piled up nine tackles (eight solo) and one tackle for a loss that resulted in a safety to help East Forsyth roll 32-14 at home over Indian Trail (N.C.) Porter Ridge High in the semifinals of the 4-A state playoffs.
