The Orange Panthers completed a season sweep of the Chapel Hill Tigers on Monday night. Orange won 75-70 behind 24 points from senior Joey McMullin, who knocked down some pressure free throws down the stretch. The Panthers shot 16-of-17 from the foul line for its ninth win of the season. McMullin has spent four seasons on Orange’s varsity team, where he was a member of the 2017 Big 8 regular season championship team. That squad reached the state quarterfinals after playoff wins over Triton, Southern Guilford and Gray’s Creek. He was also on the floor when the Panthers defeated Southern Durham after a Connor Crabtree running one-handed with three seconds remaining. On Wednesday night, McMullin will play his final game at Orange High when the Panthers host Southern Durham. Orange will start play in the Big 8 Conference Tournament next week.
