Wake Forest keeps rolling, crushes Cal

Wake Forest entered this matchup against California a win shy of being bowl eligible for the eighth time in the last 10 seasons, and the second time under coach Jake Dickert.

Raleigh’s ‘No Kings’ Rallies Trade Protest Signs for Early-Voting Push

Raleigh will host two “No Kings” events Saturday, but this round looks less like a protest march and more like a get-out-the-vote drive.
