November 2, 2025 - FALL CHAMPIONSHIPS

State Championships - and the tournaments leading up to them - have a new appearance with North Carolina high schools in the state athletic association now divided into eight classifications.

The first championships of the 2025-26 school year were the Individual Tennis Championships which were determined on Saturday, October 25. Five Randolph County athletes qualified for the championship tournament, the most in at least a decade. Ashleigh Page (Uwharrie Charter) qualified for the 4A singles tournament while Alisa Shaw & Liz Shoe (Providence Grove, 3A) and Larson Kelly & Caroline Farlow (Southwestern Randolph, 4A) qualified in doubles.

Dual Team Tennis titles were decided this weekend. No local teams advanced that far but both Trinity and Wheatmore made it to the fourth round.

Womens Golf championships were scheduled for this past Monday and Tuesday but rain led to six of the tournaments being shortened. Only the 7A championship consisted of two complete rounds. Two cut the second round in half for 27-hole events and four canceled the Tuesday round entirely. Due to lower participation numbers in smaller schools, the two smallest classifications played in a unified 1A/2A championship tournament.

Golfers from Providence Grove, Randleman, Southwestern Randolph and Wheatmore qualified for 3A and 4A championships with PG placing 4th as a team in 3A and SWR 6th in 4A. Low individual scores were led by Megan Oakley (PG) who finished 4th and Kyndal Kindley (WHS) who placed 7th (tie) in the 3A event. In 4A, Danielle Jaeck (SWR) was 18th (tie) and Layla White (RHS) finished 32nd (tie). The nine local qualifiers was the most for Randolph County golfers in the last decade.

21 runners from local schools competed Friday in the NCHSAA Cross Country Championships with Wheatmore leading the way to the finish line. Warriors Ayden Fitzgerald finished 7th in the boy's championship and Scarlett Hildreth was 8th in the girl's race, three spots ahead of Laurel Bernhardt from Providence Grove.

Uwharrie Charter played for the 4A volleyball championship Friday for the first time in the program's history but the Eagles lost in 5 sets to Lake Norman Charter.

The NCHSAA will be seeding both Football and Mens Soccer today and release the brackets with first-round matchups this afternoon. Look for a Facebook Live video on SportsTone's FB page with details about the football playoffs for Randolph County teams later today. Once information is available, Mens Soccer playoff information will be posted on the Mens Soccer page of this website.
