Last year, the Orange lacrosse team came away disappointed after a lopsided loss to Northern Guilford in the state playoffs. On Wednesday night, it was completely different as the Panthers defeated Northside-Jacksonville 17-13 in the opening round of the 3A/2A/1A state playoffs. It was the 2nd state playoff win in team history. Dylan Boyer finished with four goals and two assists. Junior Wyatt Jones also scored four goals. Caleb Davis added the game-tying goal early in the 2nd quarter. Orange will travel to the coast again on Tuesday. This time, they will face Topsail, the 3rd seed from Conference One. Orange also got key contributions from Josh Mauer, who won 12 faceoffs.
