The Orange wrestling team took down West Stokes and Croatan last night to win the Eastern Regional. They'll be competing for the state 2A Duals championship at 6 p.m. at home on Saturday, Feb. 7 against Newton Conover, a rematch of last year's final that saw Orange claim the state duals title on the road.
When I was over at Orange this morning for our Athlete of the Week interview this morning, the mood was lively and our athlete from that school, James Norman, seemed quite excited.
Three state titles in a calendar year for Orange? That would be quite an accomplishment. I am fairly new to the state (born here but raised in Tennessee), so does anybody know of another school in the area with recent multi-sport dominance?
See what ended up on The News of Orange County's cutting room floor.
The Wachovia Cup, an award given to High Schools for overall sports achievements, would be the place to check, http://www.nchsaa.org/pages/58// but it doesn't look like they've updated their site since Fall 2006 with standings.
