Carrie Davis alone couldn’t keep the Cedar Ridge girls basketball team afloat in its season opener.

Carrboro’s Grace Nanney scored 17 points while Deja Tucker added 16 as the Jaguars defeated the Red Wolves 44-33 in each team’s season opener on Tuesday night.

Davis had 19, but she was the only Red Wolf in double figures. Kaylee Herbst had six for Cedar Ridge, who shot only 29% from the field.

Davis shot 6-of-11 from the field and knocked down both of Cedar Ridge’s 3-pointers.

Cedar Ridge carried a 20-14 lead into halftime after Davis canned a three-pointer off a feed from Sydney Harrison. Carrboro was held to five points in the second quarter. Nanney was 0-9 from the field in the first half, but she found her range when it mattered.

Carrboro started the second half on a 16-3 run, where Nanney scored the first six points of the half for the Jaguars, while Tucker scored the following seven. Cedar Ridge missed all five of its 3-pointers in the third quarter and trailed 31-27 going into the fourth quarter.

Davis hit a 3-pointer in the opening minute of the fourth quarter, but it was the only field goal of the fourth quarter for CRHS.

Cedar Ridge will face Bartlett Yancy on Friday in hopes of getting its first win of the season.

Orange Volleyball could have made its playoff life simple on Tuesday night. Win at Webb, and they finish 2nd in the Big 8 Conference.

It didn’t work out that way.

The Warriors shut out the Panthers 3-0 by scores of 25-21, 25-19, and 25-19. With the loss, Webb, Orange and Chapel Hill finish tied for 2nd at 8-4 in the Big 8, all behind undefeated conference champion Cedar Ridge.

The playoff field is set to be announced on Wednesday, with 1st round matches set for Saturday. Cedar Ridge will have a home match, and will likely be a top seed.

We’ll have coverage of Cedar Ridge, and possibly Orange, here on HillsborughSports.com

Typically, we don’t like repeating winners of the Orange or Cedar Ridge Players of the Week. But Drew Lemaster’s game was too good on Friday night. In Orange’s 41-6 win over Cedar Ridge, Lemaster rushed for a career-high 124 yards on 18 carries and intercepted a pass for a touchdown. Plus, he tipped a punt that led to a 58-yard touchdown return for Montavious Beasley. Congratulations to Drew Lemaster, our Orange Panther of the Week for the second straight week!.
