Kinston’s senior duo of quarterback Tyler Jones and wide receiver Tyreek Copper are rewriting the record books. Jones has thrown for 3,196 yards and 42 touchdowns, while Copper has racked up 1,677 receiving yards and 24 scores. Together, they’ve shattered school records and climbed into North Carolina’s all-time lists as they lead the Vikings into the second round of the playoffs, still chasing history — and a state championship.
For the third straight year, Kinston’s season opener against South Central ended in heartbreak. The Vikings had their chances, but miscues down the stretch cost them in a 21-19 loss Friday night.
Kinston baseball, under first-year head coach Tyler Buie, is looking to change the culture of a struggling program by focusing on competition and effort. With junior transfer Tyler Jones leading the way and senior Deuteron Moore providing veteran leadership, the Vikings hope to take steps forward in 2025. While they face a tough East Central Conference schedule, Buie believes this season can serve as a foundation for future success.
