LaDwaun Harrison has been named as head football coach at Durham Jordan High. He replaces Mike Briggs, who resigned in November.
Jordan's girls basketball team will forfeit its first two wins of the season after the school reported one of its players in those games was ineligible due to excessive absences.
The school has paid its fine and reported the forfeitures to the N.C. High School Athletic Association and also to the two schools now rewarded for wins -- Panther Creek and Enloe.
UPDATE: Well, this is awkward. There was an error in scoring one of the matches at Saturday's Bull City Classic.
It turned out to be very important, as Panther Creek -- not Holly Springs -- won the event. The coaches will have to trade trophies.
Panther Creek had 246 points, just one more than what Holly Springs had.
The following was the report from the event that day, as Holly Springs was mistakenly named the champion.
Orange High defended its own tournament by placing first at this year's 2011 Jim King Orange Invitational on Saturday.
The Panthers had two first-place champions in the 23-team field and had 12 different wrestlers place sixth or higher. Orange's 253 points were well clear of second-place Cary (187.5), third-place Northern Durham (161) and fourth-place Jordan (156).
