This week’s Cedar Ridge Red Wolf of the Week is women’s tennis player Olivia Ward. Last week, Ward and her doubles partner Alana Lutz became the first doubles team in Cedar Ridge history to qualify for the 3A State Championship tournament. What makes it all the more remarkable is Ward was only five months removed from major thoracic surgery. Olivia spent the summer learning how to use her right arm. When tennis season started in August, Olivia struggled to hold her right arm over her head. Needless to say, she made progress as the season continued. Ward and Lutz were the #4 Mideast seed in the 3A State Doubles Tournament, where they competed at the Piedmont Indoor Tennis Center in Greensboro on Friday morning. Even though she and Lutz lost on Friday, there was no time for Ward to rest. On Saturday afternoon, she played in a USTA match in Durham.

The Cedar Ridge JV football team defeated Southern Durham on Thursday night at Spartan Stadium. Red Wolves Coach Antonio King is no stranger to a rivalry with Southern. As a former coach at Hillside, the Spartans and the Hornets battled for supremacy in the PAC-6 Conference for years. After another win, the Red Wolves turn its attention to Orange this Thursday night at Cedar Ridge Stadium.

While most people around Cedar Ridge know Amy Stutzer from playing left field for the Red Wolves softball team, this year she opted to try a new sport: golf. She qualified for the 3A Mideast regionals for the Cedar Ridge women’s golf team earlier this month. Interestingly enough, she took up golf in August so Cedar Ridge women’s golf coach Clay Jones could have enough players to field a team. Stutzer shot a 47 in a nine-hole meet to propel Cedar Ridge to a victory over Person. Now, she’ll spend the winter gearing up for softball season, where the Red Wolves are the defending Big 8 Conference champions.
