For Alamance County resident Stephanie Jones, Thanksgiving means more than just a meal. It means spending the extra $20 to feed her two children the Thanksgiving feast they dream of.

By afeather

The Elon University men's soccer team racked up the goals in a big 3-0 win over Winthrop on Thursday night in the first round of the NCAA Soccer Championship.
