What’s better than winning your first varsity football game in 765 days? Winning two in a row would be the answer for Cedar Ridge, which is what the Red Wolves are focused on this week as they prepare for East Chapel Hill. Braxton Mergenthal had another strong game for Cedar Ridge in its 20-19 victory over Chapel Hill last Friday. Mergenthal also doesn’t believe in days off. He plays football in the fall, suits up for the varsity basketball team in the winter and then play lacrosse during the spring. As his Cedar Ridge football career winds to a close, he wants to leave in great shape for his younger brother, Jake, who also plays on team. Most of all, Mergenthal wants to go out with some more wins as Cedar Ridge enters its final four games. They start with East Chapel Hill this Friday at Dave Thaden Stadium in Chapel Hill. You can hear the game live on Hillsboroughsports.com with Tim Hackett, Jason Knapp and Jmari Graham starting at 6:55 with the C&R Ski Outdoor pregame show this Friday night.
