They were both on Mondays, the first one canceled due to snow and the second due to power outages. Cardinal Gibbons and Northern Vance were going to host the matches respectively. Make-up days have not been announced yet.
The team hopes that the next match scheduled for Monday, March 17 will actually occur. They will play at Falls Village in Durham at 3 pm hosted by Southern Durham. The matches usually last about 3 hours. The whole conference plays at every match, but to keep it shorter they play only nine holes.
Pat Moser is the coach of the golf team again and the team has about fifteen players. Brad Barbee, senior, said that the team had a “good mix” of players this year although they lack freshmen. The team practices at the Occoneechee golf course in Hillsborough so the commute from the school to the course can make it hard for underclassmen to join since they cannot drive yet.
Orange and Cedar Ridge will host the “Big Eight” 3A Tournament Monday, April 28, at Occoneechee. This will be the only home game of the season.
Room 309 featured a table filled with the ornaments. There were all different colors and they showed different images.
Some of the ornaments were snowmen, sleds, and crystal balls. The students decorated all of the ornaments. They added glitter and fake snow to them. They also created the snowmen out of mason jars and different craft items. The sleds they created were painted red.
Other interesting items that they were selling were discs that they made out of melted beads. The discs are multicolored and are hung on red string. Teacher Whitney Crabtree explained how they were made, “We took beads and put them in little pans to make them round, then we melted them.”
The students are selling the ornaments to raise enough money to have their yearly picnic. At the end of the year, the students have the get-together where they eat food in celebration of end of the school year/graduation.
