The Cedar Ridge volleyball team has guaranteed itself its best season since making the Eastern Regional Championship game in 2015. The Red Wolves are 9-1 after beating Bartlett Yancey on Monday night. Hillsboroughsports.com’s John Franklin talked with Cedar Ridge coach Anna Seethaler and three of the seniors who have been key in leading a young Red Wolves squad this season. Middle blocker Emma Downing, outside hitter Tori Dalehite and setter Cailyn Thornton have been with the team through thin times, and now they’re marching towards a birth in the state playoffs. Cedar Ridge will return to action against Northern Durham in Hillsborough. The Red Wolves and East Chapel Hill are tied for 1st in the Big 8 Conference, and those teams will play on Thursday at Wildcat Gymnasium.
