From left to right, Molly Wilson, Brenda Jarrett and Robby Parker are putting their bikes on the road for a good cause next weekend.


By Matt Tate Robby Parker used to watch the


popular television show “Sanford and Son” with his childhood friend Blake Goldman. Goldman lives with multiple


sclerosis, a disease that affects how the nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord communicate. When Parker decided to take a


two-day 200-mile bicycle trek to raise funds and awareness for the disease, he asked his friend what he should call his team. Goldman offered “Sanford Spin-


ners.” Parker, the coach of the girls’


basketball team at North Bun- combe High School, will ride 100 miles on Sept. 25 from Charlotte to Florence, SC, and then on Sept. 26, he will pedal another 100 miles to Sunset Beach in the 25th annual Breakaway to the Beach event orga- nized by the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the National MS Society. Parker is hoping to raise $1,000


for his efforts. “It all goes to a real good cause,”


he said. Weaverville resident Brenda


Jarrett is also riding with a group called Blue Ridge Riders. She is


Players of the Week


Te following players were chosen by the NBHS


football coaching staff as “Players of the Week” for last week’s game against the Brevard Blue Devils:


Alex Destino, special teams


Brent Rayfield, offense


heading out of Camden, SC, to Florence, SC, on the first day. She sheepishly admits she is in a


wait-and-see approach about mak- ing the entire 100-mile run on the second day. Jarrett convinced her niece, Er-


win 12th-grader Molly Wilson, to join up on the project and use the experience as a basis for her senior project. Jarrett and Wilson hope to raise


$500 apiece. For more information and to
