The violent storms that swept Wednesday evening through the northern part of Orange County prompted Chapel Hill-Carrboro middle and high schools to postpone all outdoor activities.
That included all OPAC football games and the crucial Carolina-9 soccer match between No. 6-ranked Carrboro (17-3-0, 12-1-1 conference) and No. 5 N.C. School of Science & Math (15-1-0, 14-1-0).
The Jaguars and Unicorns have rescheduled their soccer match, which will decide the Carolina-9 Conference championship, for 5 p.m. Thursday at Carrboro High School.

    After winning 2-1 in OT Monday night at Durham School of the Arts, Carrboro’s boys soccer team has a chance to finish first in the Carolina-9 conference Wednesday when it hosts N.C. Science and Math. Both teams are ranked in the state’s top 10, and both have just one loss in league play. Game time is 7 p.m. for the varsities.
  In another match of ranked teams, No. 8 Chapel Hill plays Wednesday at No. 13 Orange in a game where the winner should lock up the Carolina 2-A’s No. 2 seed for next week’s state tournament.
  Elsewhere Wednesday, 4-A No. 7 East Chapel Hill hosts winless Person for Senior Night at Wildcat Stadium; Cedar Ridge closes its season at Roxboro Community School, and Northwood hosts South Granville in its regular-season finale.

Chapel Hill High School has named two new lacrosse coaches for the Tigers, according to athletics director Tod Morgan. David Klarmann will lead the CHHS boys’ lacrosse program and Christen Campbell will be the new girls’ lacrosse coach, Morgan announced in an email.
Klarmann may be best known to  lacrosse cognoscenti as the former Tar Heel who played on Carolina’s first NCAA tournament team, and who later coached the ‘91 Carolina team to the NCAA Championship.

WAKE FOREST – After dropping the first two games in Thursday night’s road volleyball match against Wake Forest-Rolesville, Millbrook made a furious rally and looked like it might take the match’s momentum after trimming the deficit to 2-1, but it wasn’t enough, as the Cougars managed to hang on for a 25-18, 25-21, 23-25, 25-20 win over the Wildcats in four games.

It wasn’t easy, though.

All three local high schools' soccer team continue apace this week, all of them ranked in the top 15 pof the state coaches' poll.

Monday, Henry Roberts recorded a hat trick, helped by assists from Tyler Boulton and Andrew Jessup, as 4-A No. 13 East Chapel Hill rolled over Northern Durham in PAC-6 soccer, 3-0. The Wildcats (6-1-2) have another conference game Wednesday against Soiuthern Durham.

Meanwhile,  coach Mark Kadlecik gave younger Jaguars some playing time Monday, as 2-A No. 9 Carrboro topped Roxboro Community 3-0. Carrboro's goals came from Bear Kasim, Joe Lytle and Thar Yghwai.

Chapel Hill, ranked No. 5 in the 3-A classification, plays Tuesday night at Leesville Road in Raleigh, and then visits East Chapel Hill Friday night.
 

R.J. Quick caught an 8-yard touchdown pass from Chapel Hill quarterback T.J. Johnson in the final minute of Thursday’s first half for a two-touchdown lead, and the Tigers never gave up their lead or their grip on the Hodgin Cup in a 40-28 victory over archrival East Chapel Hill.

Playing in front of a home crowd at Culton-Peerman Stadium, Johnson passed for four touchdowns. But it wasn’t until Quick’s 78-yard run for a touchdown in the fourth quarter that Chapel Hill (3-2) secured its grip on the cup, which is sponsored by The Chapel Hill News and named for former CHHS coach and East athletics director Bill Hodgin.

East’s Drew Davis ran in two scores himself, and he threw TD passes of 27 and 6 yards to keep the Wildcats (1-4) in the game. After Quick put CHHS up 40-21, Davis’ last pass, the 6-yarder to Tyler Klimko, got East back within two scores with 3:15 left to play.
Chapel Hill’s Carlos Hill fell on East’s last-gasp onside kick, and the Tigers ran out the final 3 minutes.

Winless Greensboro Grimsley turned over the ball six times — including twice on kickoffs — to set up Jordan for the Falcons’ second straight win, 18-13 Friday night over the visiting Whirlies. UNC signee T.J. Thorpe caught 11 passes for 141 yards, including TDs of 30 and 6 yards.
Sam Selig’s 8-yard pass to Josh Williams gave Jordan (3-1) a 12-0 lead going into halftime.
Grimsley (0-4) managed to claw back within a touchdown twice on touchdown passes from Jake Simpson to Treyvon Woods (11 yards) in the third quarter and Tuquis Turner (25 yards) in the fourth quarter.
The Falcons (3-1) closed the deal on Selig’s 6-yard pass to Thorpe early in the fourth quarter.
Grimsley never got closer to the end zone after that than the Jordan 43.

This week’s soccer matchup between 2-A Carrboro and Chapel Hill, the No. 2-ranked team the NCHSAA 3-A class, has been moved to today (8/25).
Chapel Hill (3-0) will play at Carrboro (3-0) at 6:45 p.m. this evening. That match will be preceded by the junior varsities at 5 p.m.
After that, Carrboro will be among the 54 North Carolina high schools playing in The Brittany for Boys IV at the J. Burt Gillette Soccer Complex in Wilson. Carrboro will play West Carteret at 6 p.m. Friday.
The Brittany is a showcase, not a tournament. Teams play one opponent and head home. But it’s grown immensely popular since its founding.
The Brittany was created to honor former Wilson Hunt soccer player Brittany Willis, who was abducted and murdered after her high school graduation.
East Chapel Hill, which has sent a team to The Brittany several times, did not enter a boys team this year. The Wildcats are scheduled to play tonight at brand-new Heritage High School in Wake Forest.
Chapel Hill plays Broughton on Thursday.
