The Orange football team defeated East Chapel Hill 40-7 in its Big 8 Conference opener on Friday night. Wingback Elliott Woods rushed for a career-high 58 yards and scored the first two touchdowns of his varsity career. Jones also starts at linebacker and leads the team with 39 tackles, including three for a loss. Woods had some key plays in the Panthers’ opening win of the season against Walter Williams, including a huge 14-yard catch to convert a third down. The Panthers eventually scored the game-winning touchdown on that drive. Woods and the rest of the Panthers will gear up for Southern Durham this Friday at Spartan Stadium.Â
