It looks like you can add the Forest Ridge High site to the list of battles that will divide new and old school board members starting in December.

As noted in today's article, the current board members, with the exception of Ron Margiotta, told staff to go ahead with plans for using the Forest Ridge High site. But Chris Malone said Wake should be prepared for a change in that plan when he and other new board members take office.

"They should have stopped today," Malone said. "We're going to push ahead and make them stop it."

Wakefield played well on defense in a
14-7 to powerful Greensboro Dudley.

“We had some chances to win,”
said Wakefield coach J.D. Dinwiddie.

“When you play a really tough team
like Dudley, you can’t afford to make
mistakes. We had an opportunity to
win the game, but just couldn’t quite
get it done.”

Wakefield defeated Broughton in an important Cap Seven 4-A girls volleyball match on Tuesday night.

The undefeated Wolverines topped the Caps in straight sets,. 25-20, 25-17, 25-22. 

Get ready for some overcrowding in parts of the county now that assignments to Forest Ridge High, Rolesville Middle and Walnut Creek Elementary have been put on hold.

As noted in today's article, the school board voted Tuesday to delay the assignments to those three schools by two years because the recession has delayed when they'll open. There will be consequences.

Not assigning students to Forest Ridge High until 2012 means that Wake Forest-Rolesville and Wakefield high schools will need to keep their off campus ninth-grade centers until at least then.

Here's a bit more discussion on how the Lost Colony deal came to an end at Tuesday's committee of the whole meeting.

Heading into the meeting, it looked like some school board members were all set to continue the relationship with Granville County schools to pay the $1,443 per student tuition for the Lost Colony students.

But things changed when the school board found out that bus service was already being provided to the Lost Colony area. This means service wouldn't have to be added if Wake kept the 51 students now going to Granville.

Wakefield 58,
Athens Drive 39

How far should the Broughton girls rise in next week's N&O poll?

 The Caps defeated previous No. 1 Wakefield 49-44 on Tuesday night. Undefeated Apex is expected to move to the top spot, but how high should the Caps go? Broughton (18-3) was No. 5 in the last poll behind Wakefield (now 22-2), Apex (20-0), Western Harnett (21-0) and Southeast Raleigh (16-2).

But how much weight should knocking off the No. 1 carry?
