Month: September 2022

The Cedar Ridge volleyball team has won seven in a row. On Thursday night, the Red Wolves swept Northwood to improve to 2-0 in the Central Carolina Conference. Cedar Ridge won three matches this week, sweeping East Chapel Hill, Person and Northwood. Perhaps most daunting for the other teams in the CCC is that the Red Wolves may be deeper than its 2021 3A State Championship team. This week, freshman Claire Hargett had nine kills against East Chapel Hill. Also, junior Graylinn Serge, a regular rotation player from last year, had a career-high seven kills, tied for game-high honors with Anaya Carter. Serge also had five digs against the Rockets. Against East Chapel Hill, Serge had four kills and six digs. Cedar Ridge is tied for first place in the CCC with its crosstown rival, Orange. The Lady Panthers will host the Red Wolves on Tuesday night at Orange High School. 

This week’s Lineman of the Week is Cedar Ridge senior Louis Tedder. Last Friday night, Tedder played both guards and defensive tackle as the Red Wolves defeated East Chapel Hill 8-6 to win its first varsity game since October 2019. It was an unusual night for Tedder. His father, Louis Tedder Sr., is a defensive line coach for East Chapel Hill. Last season, he coached for Cedar Ridge when the Red Wolves only fielded a junior varsity team. Tedder has been active with Cedar Ridge sports through his first three years. He wrestles for the Red Wolves wrestling team coached by Scott Metcalf. He also competes in track & field in the spring. Tedder and the rest of the Cedar Ridge defense held the East Chapel Hill defense without a point in the final 40 minutes of its win last Friday night. Tedder and the rest of the Red Wolves will journey to Bartlett-Yancey on Friday night to face the Bartlett-Yancey Buccaneers. Last season, Cedar Ridge defeated Barrett-Yancey in a junior varsity game.
