RALEIGH -- A loss in the finals didn't dampen the spirits of Bunn's best-ever football season.
The Wildcats reached the Class 2-AA State Championship Game for the first time in school history Saturday, only to be foiled by a high-powered juggernaut of a club from Monroe.
The Redhawks flashed the speed and skill on both sides of the ball and stopped Bunn by a 38-19 margin in the title contest at Carter-Finley Stadium.
Still, Bunn coach David Howle was hardly displeased after the outing, which featured about 5,000 Wildcats' fans in the stands.
