This accolade for Payton Wilson was based on his performance in Orange’s victory over Western Guilford last week, where he had a 96-yard touchdown run and led the team in tackles. It could have just as easily gone for his performance on Friday night against Southern Durham, where he returned two punts for touchdowns of 55 and 66 yards. We’ll have another Orange Panther of the Week stemming from the Southern Durham game, along with a Cedar Ridge Red Wolf of the Week, announced on Tuesday.
Orange Panther of the Week: Payton Wilson
Wilson had a 96-yard run for a touchdown against Western Guilford last week as the Panthers defeated the Hornets 38-7. On Friday night, he returned two punts for touchdowns as Orange demolished Southern Durham 49-7.
