The Orange football team grabbed its first home win of the season and retained the victory bell in the process. The Panthers defeated Cedar Ridge 50-0 for its first Central Carolina Conference win of the season. On a night where ten seniors were honored, junior Nate Sorrells led the Panthers with a career-high 201 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Sorrells broke the game open with his arm off a 84-yard touchdown pass to senior Wynston Brown, who scored on the longest play of his career. Linebacker Jabari Albright got some touches in the second half as a running back and had a career-high 92 yards rushing with two touchdowns. Senior A’mare Morgan made several vital defensive plays to help the Panthers with its second shutout of the season. Orange has defeated Cedar Ridge nine straight times and helped coach Devantae’ Pettiford earn his second career win. Orange will wrap up its season on Friday night with a trip to defending CCC Champion, Eastern Alamance.
