Orange senior Juan Navarro is in the quarterfinals of the Tiger Holiday Classic. On Friday, Navarro defeated Hunter Mayo of Pasquotank County in 1:02 for his 14th win of the season, along with his ninth pin. Navarro is the starting right guard on the Orange football team for the past two seasons. After missing the Jim King/Orange Invitational two weeks ago to have his wisdom teeth removed, Navarro wants to finish strong at the Tiger, one of the most elite tournaments in the southeast. On Saturday morning, Navarro will face Marcus Vincent of Person. Vincent and Navarro wrestled last month, with Vincent handing Navarro his only loss so far this season. Navarro narrowly missed qualifying for the 3A State Championships last year after he finished fourth at the Mideast Regionals. He lost to Hillside’s Rodney Harris in quadruple overtime 4-3 with a bid to the state championships on the line.
