  • Which North Greenville label to prefer. The recap says No. 22. The schedule and the box say No. 1 seed. Both stay
  • Jake Davids' 78 rushing yards and four catches for 46 yards. That bullet is on the recap. The box and the leader block say 33 rushing yards and two catches for 29. The bullet is not used

What happened

In Pembroke, UNC Pembroke beat North Greenville 21-14 on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, in the Conference Carolinas Bowl at Younts Stadium in Tigerville, S.C.

The school recap, the box score, the football schedule, and a Robesonian story by Chris Stiles all list 21-14. The box puts kickoff at 1 p.m. and attendance at 2,850. The newspaper does not print either number.

The recap scoreboard and the box list the Braves at 9-2 and 5-1, and North Greenville at 8-3 and 5-1. The schedule's season line is 9-2, a conference column of 5-1, and a five-game winning streak. The Robesonian reports 9-2 and five straight. It does not print a conference mark or an opponent record. The quarters on the school pages are 0, 7, 0 and 14 for UNC Pembroke and 0, 7, 0 and 7 for North Greenville.

The recap calls the opponent No. 22. The schedule and the box title call them the No. 1 seed. Both labels stay.

The recap says the Braves were crowned champions of this bowl, clinched the conference's automatic NCAA berth, and will be in the playoffs for the first time since 2016. The Robesonian calls the win the program's first conference championship. It also says the berth is the first since 2016 and the fourth overall. The first-title sentence and the word fourth are the newspaper's. The 2016 playoff gap is in both. The recap adds that the selection show is Sunday at 6 p.m., with first-round games on Nov. 21. The newspaper says the field comes Sunday and that those games are next Saturday, without the 6 p.m. clock.

An earlier file left this pairing open after the 45-14 win at Ferrum. The Homecoming win over Chowan is on this site as well. Other Saturday finals here include Syracuse at NC State and Miami against Duke.

What the box and the newspaper share

Josh Ehrlich completed 11 of 19 passes for 251 yards and three touchdowns. The box adds that he threw no interception. The recap names him the bowl's most valuable player. The newspaper uses the words championship game for that honor.

Malik Brown caught six passes for 139 yards and two scores. The long gain on the box is 91 yards. The scoring summary and the newspaper both put that 91-yard touchdown at 2:14 of the fourth quarter, the play that made it 21-14.

North Greenville threw for 36 yards. The box says that was 6 completions in 14 attempts. The newspaper says six completions and 36 yards, and it does not print the attempt total.

The scoring summary also lists a 16-yard Deshawn Tompkins run at 8:47 of the second quarter, a 19-yard pass to Brown just before halftime, a 7-yard Brendan Mansinne run at 14:16 of the fourth for a 14-7 lead, and a 7-yard pass to Jake Davids at 12:20 that tied it. The newspaper describes that same fourth-quarter swing, including a 51-yard throw to Bryson Simpkins before the Davids score.

Two lines that do not match

The box lists Davids at 13 carries for 33 net yards and no rushing touchdown, plus two catches for 29 yards and a score. The recap's leader block matches that. A bullet lower in the recap says he ran for 78 yards and a touchdown and caught four passes for 46 yards. That bullet is not used.

The box's play list says Jackson Dadich intercepted Mansinne in the third quarter and returned it 6 yards. The Robesonian also names Dadich on an interception. The recap's notables paragraph says Justin Foreman had the only interception. Foreman's box line shows a pass breakup and no pick. The name in this story is Dadich. The Foreman sentence is the conflict, not a second interception.
