Wake Forest Falls To NC State in Final of Airborne 7s

NC St. defeated Wake Forest 31-0 in the final of the Airborne 7s Open Division on Saturday. State took advantage of a clearly fatigued Wake side to dominate the tackle contest and starve the Demon Deacons of possession. Leading up to the match, Wake Forest had gone 4-0 in pool play with wins over Fort Bragg, Southern Pines, Jokers, and Cape Fear B, while the Wolfpack ran through their pool 3-0 with wins over Raleigh, ECU B and Wake Forest B. Wake Forest B, a side heavy with front row players, struggled on the day and finished 0-3 in their pool.

Taking his cue from Wake Forest B's performance, Wake Forest's Michael Kane, '30 got beat soundly in the "Children's Obstacle Course," finishing dead last. Wake Forest coaches are now contemplating rescinding his scholarship offer.
