On paper, and perhaps in practice, the Orange women’s basketball team was supposed to have an easy win over East Chapel Hill on Wednesday. The Wildcats only had five players. But even with the minimum about of players, its never easy for Orange at East. The Lady Panthers squeezed out a 37-32 win over a determined Wildcats team. Orange is now 4-1 in the Big 8 Conference with two league games remaining. Guard Samantha George finished with seven points, including a 3-pointer early in the first quarter. George and Aaliyah Harris have paired together for a high-scoring backcourt that has Orange on the verge of making the 3A State Playoffs for the third straight year. Orange hosts crosstown rival Cedar Ridge on Friday night at Orange, which will be Senior Night for the Lady Panthers. Orange will travel to Vance County on Saturday.
