When it’s all said and done, the Cedar Ridge Boys Lacrosse team will go down as the first lacrosse team from Hillsborough to win a regional championship and play for the state championship. On Friday night, the Red Wolves jumped out to a 3-0 lead against Weddington, but the Warriors’ firepower overwhelmed CRHS in the second quarter. Weddington went on a 12-1 run in the 2nd quarter to defeat the Red Wolves 21-6 in the 3A/2A/1A State Championship game at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary. Cedar Ridge Coach Patrick Kavanaugh, who took over the team when it didn’t even have a JV squad, led the squad to the Big 8 Conference Championship.
