Uwharrie Charter Academy volleyball ended the season in the State Championships for the second consecutive year. The Eagles fell short to Lake Norman Charter School in the 4A title game Friday afternoon after winning back-to-back regional championships and reaching the 28-win mark for three years in a row.

Earlier in the week Trinity advanced to the regional finals for the first time since 1987 before falling to eventual 3A champion North Stanly.

Asheboro's inaugural season of Flag Football ended Saturday with a 10-7 record. The 15th seeded Blue Comets won their first playoff game in the new sport, 13-6 over #18 North Forsyth, before falling in round two to the #2 team in their bracket Mount Tabor.

Several dozen cross country runners competed in regional meets Saturday with a number of them advancing to the state championship meet next weekend.

Trinity (3A) and Randleman (4A) girls qualified for state meets as teams as did the Wheatmore (3A) boys. The top six teams from each region all advanced to the state meet along with the top seven individual runners from each region who are not on one of the qualifying teams.

Top local finishers included several top-20 marks. In the girl's events were: Laurel Bernhardt (RHS) 5th, Scarlett Hildreth (WHS) 8th, Madison Hill (THS) 15th, Kayla Franklin (THS) 18th, Fatimah Ijaz (THS), 19th and Reagan Henley (RHS) 20th.

Finishing in the top 20 in boys races were Wheatmore runners Ayden Fitzgerald 4th, Dylan Rada 14th, Tyler McCormick 19th and Jake Hollingsworth 20th.

Wheatmore reports that four Warriors set personal records in the event and that Hildreth and Kynlyn Surratt qualified for the state meet.

In Womens Tennis Trinity made it to the fourth round of the Dual Team playoffs for the second straight year while Southwestern Randolph made it to the third round for the first time.

Providence Grove's Adison Johnson finished top 10 in Womens Golf and the Patriots finished 5th in the state in 3A.

Just getting underway is Mens Soccer with first round games scheduled for Monday. For the second straight year all eight public schools in Randolph County will be represented.

For the first time ever all seven football-playing schools will be involved when the post-season begins Friday, although three teams have first-round byes.
