Last season, the Orange wrestling team won the Tiger Holiday Classic for the first time in school history. The 26th Tiger Holiday Classic starts Friday at Chapel Hill High School at 4 PM. It will continue Saturday morning at 9 AM. Despite having only two returning starters from last year, Orange is 13-0 after defeating Cedar Ridge 67-7 on Wednesday night at Panther Gymnasium. Among the first-year Orange starters is Tayton Alvis, who competes at 138 pounds. Alvis got off to a strong start to the season at the Orange Duals, which started the season on November 17. Alvis won all four of his matches that day, including a pinfall victory over an opponent from North Davidson. Later in the day, he earned a 7-5 overtime victory against Chatham Central’s Cole Armstrong. Alvis will carry a 13-6 record with nine pins into his first Tiger Invitational on Friday.
