Wakefield, Knightdale defend track titles

East Chapel Hill’s Jon Beyle was a double champion in the shot put and the discus. It was a very memorable finish to an outdoor season that hasn’t gone the way the Wildcat wanted.
“It’s been a struggle since adding the discus back in,” Beyle said. “Everything’s just been a little off, going back and forth between the two events. I started out really bad today in the shot, but got a good thrown in on my fourth throw, then the fifth one was good and the sixth really good.”
He won the shot at 55-1 ½, then took the discus at 161-3, more than 10 feet ahead of the runner-up.

STATE TRACK: Jordan's Perry named 4-A girls' MVP; Falcons 3rd
by John McCann
In field events, East Chapel Hill’s Jon Beyle was outstanding, winning state championships in the discus and the shot put. He said he got it done by relying on solid technique over raw power.
“You can see I’m not the biggest thrower out here. It’s definitely technique that gets me there,” Beyle said.
The East Chapel Hill boys finished eighth overall.

CHAPEL HILL - Leesville Road coach Paul Dinkenor likes to remind people that the Pride is “not a one-player” girls’ soccer team.
After Caroline Gentry scored two goals in overtime to lead Leesville Road to a 3-1 victory in the N.C. High School Athletic Association Class 4A playoffs, he could have fooled East Chapel Hill. (full story)
News & Observer: Green Hope moves to girls lacrosse title game
CHAPEL HILL With all-conference midfielder Maggie Auslander sporting a cast on her forearm, undefeated Green Hope had to draw on its younger players to fight off a nine-goal rally by East Chapel Hill and take a 17-14 win in the N.C. High School Athletic Association's girls lacrosse semifinals.
Due to post-season scheduling demands, projected inclement weather
and NCHSAA rules regarding postponing playoff games
the Spring Sports Banquet has been postponed until May 31, 2012.
Thanks for your understanding. - Coach Hartsfield

CHAPEL HILL
East Chapel Hill had let their large lead evaporate. On the other side of the field, Cardinal Gibbons had orchestrated a thrilling comeback.
Then Sydney Holman, an East Chapel Hill midfielder, changed the momentum of the game – and the Wildcats’ season.
Holman set up and scored the only goal for the Wildcats in the second half. That proved to be just enough for East Chapel Hill in its 10-9 dramatic win in the third round of the N.C. High School Athletic Association girls lacrosse playoffs.
The Wildcats (15-3) will play Green Hope (18-0) in the semifinals next week. (full story)

In a meeting of #3 seeds the visiting Cougars jumped out to an 12 run lead before the 'Cats had their first at-bat. East pitcher Sydney Levine was torched with 18 hits while the defense committed 7 errors. Senior Jill Leary and freshman Sarah Towne both were perfect at the plate but it was a case of too little too late. East's post spring break 7-game winning streak came to an end Monday against Person and finished conference play at 8-4.

CARY -- Three outstanding Triangle girls and one boy combined for seven individual titles in Saturday's N.C. High School Athletic Association 4A swimming and diving state championships. But relays are a big component to winning NCHSAA titles, and that's what was missing as no Triangle team was ever in serious contention for top honors.
On the girls side, Cornelius Hough's girls had a whopping 314 points - well ahead of Panther Creek's runner-up total of 190. Charlotte Providence's boys won their third straight title, edging the Hough boys 265-213. (full story) (full results from NCHSAA)

E. Warnock - The Chapel Hill News
The NCHSAA shipped its initial draft of the proposed 2013-17 realignment to member schools last Wednesday. It's now posted on www.nchsaa.org/ (under "Select A Topic" and then "Realignment").
As one should note from the word "draft," the proposal is far from final. As Winston Churchill would have said: "This is not the end; it's not even the beginning of the end, but it is the end of the beginning."
East Chapel Hill and Southern Durham would be dropping from the 4A classification for larger schools down to the 3A classification, and so they'd leave the Piedmont Athletic Conference. Cedar Ridge is to move up from the smaller schools' 2A to 3A.
The NCHSAA proposal for a new 3A Conference 10 comprises Cedar Ridge, Chapel Hill, East Chapel Hill, Eastern Alamance, Northern Vance, Orange, Southern Durham and Oxford Webb. It would re-unite natural rivals Cedar Ridge and Orange, as well as Chapel Hill and East Chapel Hill, and would bring them all into one conference for the first time ever.

ROXBORO — It was wet and chilly Friday, ripe weather for slick balls and dropped passes, but East Chapel Hill’s Alex Moore 25-yard scoring reception in the fourth quarter sealed a 35-21 win over Person.
The victory kept East (2-9 overall, 3-3 PAC-6) in the conversation for a state 4-A playoff berth. East finished alone in fourth place in the PAC-6. The top three teams are guaranteed playoff spots, while East will have a wait-and-see day before wildcard slots are filled. (full story)

CHAPEL HILL With 25th-ranked Georgia Tech's ability to churn out big yards and big points, North Carolina coach Everett Withers has emphasized the Tar Heels' need to score Saturday.
That puts the onus on redshirt freshman kicker Thomas Moore, who will replace injured senior Casey Barth, to have a solid road debut.
"I don't know that I feel the extra pressure, because I understand that when you're the guy, you've got to get it done," Moore said this week. "I haven't actually had any field goal attempts, but I have enough experience in football that it's really just the same thing - from practice field to the game, you just have to carry it over."
Moore converted both of his extra point attempts after the coaches opted to sit Barth in last week's second half because of a groin pull. Moore's range for field goals, he said, is "50-something." (note: Thomas went 4-4 on PAT's in the Ga. Tech game and had no FG opportunities) (full story)
