As the world turns ...

Mallard Creek High School has been declared co-champion of the 2026 NCHSAA 8A men’s track and field state championship, after a state appeals board overturned a controversial disqualification that went viral and cost the school the title.

Runner Nyan Brown crossed the finish line first on May 16 with a sizable lead. He raised his hand and held up five fingers — a gesture his coach told media outlets represented five combined indoor and outdoor championships for Mallard Creek.

But officials immediately disqualified Brown for the celebration, claiming he’d been warned against taunting after celebrating earlier in the competition. Mallard Creek officials say they never received that warning. C.E. Jordan High School in Durham was declared the champion instead.

The incident went viral, drawing reactions online from former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III and generating national headlines.

🏛️ ALABAMA FLOODED WITH PROTESTS: The Massive National "All Roads Lead to the South" March
Title: CIVIL REVOLUTION ALERT! More Than 5,000 People Take Over the Alabama Capitol in a Historic National Mobilization to Defend Black Political Representation
The spirit of the civil rights movement has set the streets of the Deep South ablaze with a force not seen in decades. Under the banner "All Roads Lead to the South," more than 5,000 demonstrators, human rights activists, faith leaders, and lawmakers from across the nation flooded the state of Alabama for a massive day of direct action. The mobilization began in the morning with a prayer service at the historic Tabernacle Baptist Church in Selma, followed by a massive, solemn walk across the iconic Edmund Pettus Bridge. Afterward, the crowd moved in caravans and buses toward the capital, Montgomery, assembling a massive and historic protest in front of the steps of the Alabama State Capitol itself. The catalyst for this historic deployment was the recent Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which convening organizations like the NAACP argue effectively guts the protections of the Voting Rights Act and has given conservative Southern legislatures a green light to redraw congressional maps that dilute and erase the political representation of Black communities.
