This interview was taped before the resignation of Antonio King aa Cedar Ridge football coach. It’s been a long road for Cedar Ridge football, which didn’t field a team in 2018. Now, with new coach Torreón Hinton leading the way, the Red Wolves will return to varsity action on Friday, August 23 against Carrboro. Seniors Braxton Mergenthal and Braedon Thompson helped lead the Red Wolves in 2018, when they had a junior varsity team. Thompson is the third member of his family to play sports at Cedar Ridge, and his father Mason is an assistant coach. Mergenthal played on both sides of the interior line last season. He also played basketball last year. Hillsboroughsports.com will broadcast Carrboro vs. Cedar Ridge to start its 5th season on August 23.
