For over 20 years, the Cedar Ridge wrestling team had not defeated its crosstown rival, Orange. On Wednesday night, the streak finally ended in resounding fashion as Cedar Ridge defeated Orange 54-21 at Red Wolves Gymasnium. Junior Pierce Prescod earned three wins during the quad match. He pinned Orange’s Adrian Sierra in 1:33. Prescod, competing at 120 pounds, is 16-2 this season with a championship in the Red Wolf Invitational last month. Kaden Tatro won at 175 pounds, beating Orange’s Andre Hill 13-8. Tatro went on to pin Rosewood’s Aldinio Previl in 3:20 later in the night. Tatro is 15-1 this season with individual championships at the Red Wolf Invitational and the Green Hope Grapple at 175 pounds Tatro is looking to return to the 3A State Wrestling championships in February. As a team, Cedar Ridge has a bigger goal ahead: winning the Central Conference regular season championship. Cedar Ridge’s last conference regular season championship in wrestling came in 2010. Last year, the Red Wolves won the Central Conference Tournament championship, but didn’t make the state dual team playoffs. Cedar Ridge is already 3-0 this season with wins over Orange, Person and Southern Alamance. Next Wednesday, Cedar Ridge will travel to Eastern Alamance. This weekend, the Red Wolves travel to Apex High School for the Cougar/Crusader Duals, featuring Apex and Cardinal Gibbons.
