Concord went on the road for the first time in the 2006 playoffs Friday night and defeated the host Yellow Jackets 24-13. 

It was a strong team effort with the defense and offense both making play after play. The Yellow Jackets had won 13 straight after losing their first game of the season. 

The Spiders opened the scoring in the 1st quarter as Dee Bost found Lance Lewis on a 27 yard pass play. Chad Myers would add a 20 yard field goal to extend the Concord lead to 10-0 early in the second quarter. The Spiders would strike again as Roger Smith took a screen pass 71 yards to put the Spiders up 17-0. Carver would put together a solid drive which resulted in a touchdown on Rashaun Brown's 20 yard run. Concord would threaten again but the drive ended when Bost's pass was intercepted near the Carver goal line.

The Spiders took the second half kickoff and established quickly who would control the second half. Roger Smith capped the drive with a 2 yard touchdown run. Carver would add another score with a short touchdown pass, but their 2 point conversion attempt failed. The Concord defense would force a turnover late and the game ended with Dee Bost taking a knee near the Carver goal line. 

Concord's 24 points were the most given up by Carver this season. Dee Bost finished 16-27 for 383 yards and 2 touchdowns. Five different receivers caught a pass for the Spiders. Jimmy Drye led all receivers with 98 yards on 4 catches. Roger Smith added 70 yards rushing with a touchdown run and catch. Fullback Mike Moore would add 57 yards as well.

The Spider defense stepped up and contained the potent Carver rushing attack. Calvin Hillie had a monster night with 14 tackles. Mike Moore added a fumble recovery.

With the win the Spiders advance to the 3A Championship game against Western Alamance. It is the Spider's second trip to the final in 3 seasons. The Championship game will be played at N.C. State's Carter Finley Stadium Saturday at 12PM.
