Swimming: Wildcats leaving PAC-6 in their wake
CHAPEL HILL - For the East Chapel Hill swim team, "Senior Night" doesn't incorporate the pageantry with which many other sports celebrate their graduating classes.
No bouquets or rounds of applause. No teary center-court recognition.
So, on their senior night, the Wildcats celebrated in the way they know best: winning.
East survived its first and likely only conference test in Thursday's victory over PAC-6 rival Jordan. East's girls won 194-81 while the boys defeated the Falcons 166-95. Together, the Wildcat swimmers highlighted their team's depth by scoring points in nearly every event and sweeping the relays.

Men's game: Wildcats struggle to score at Orange
HILLSBOROUGH - East Chapel Hill scored a season low for points last Wednesday. For Wildcat coach Ray Hartsfield, that was almost as troubling as East's 47-37 loss at Orange High School.

The 3A CHHS Tigers defeated 4A East Chapel Hill 62-41 to improve to 3-0 on the young season and to retain local bragging rights -- at least until the two teams meet again Dec. 16 in Wildcat Gymnasium.

CHHS lost just three players off last year's team, while East's 10-player roster has just one player with any previous experience at the varsity level.

NCHSAA Realignment: The good, the bad and the ugly
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.

CHAPEL HILL - One week into its 2011-12 basketball season, Carrboro High School's senior class already can check one goal off their "to-do" list.

Alumni - Football: This game had Duke-UNC passion
- Staff Writer
CHAPEL HILL - - - Given the stakes and passion of the basketball rivalry between Duke and North Carolina, it's almost unfair to expect the same from football.
If the heat of the basketball rivalry has often produced a career performance from a role player, the Tar Heels got one Saturday from kicker Thomas Moore. A weak 2-for-7 coming into the game, Moore was 3-for-3, including a career-long 46-yarder.

Since splitting their two regular season matches the showdown in the playoffs between Carrboro and East loomed largest in the NCFHA tournament. Although only a half-game apart in the final standings East (15-2) and Carrboro (15-3) were seeded fourth and fifth respectively. The pre-championship crescendo played out to expectations in a loud Wildcat stadium Tuesday night.

Football: East, Davis run past Person 35-21, await playoff verdict
BY JOHN MCCANN
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)

Alumni - Football: Kicking habit will carry Tar Heels' Moore
- Staff Writer
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)

Two East Chapel Hill players -- junior Jackson Boyer and senior Alex Moore -- each caught 18 passes in East's football game at Carrboro. That places them third on the NCHSAA list for most receptions in a game. (full story)

Field hockey's status more secure
BY W.E. WARNOCK, CHN Sports Editor
