Malykahi Justice was a quick study in his Orange football career. He played for just two seasons, but in that short amount of time he was able to earn All-Central Conference honors in his senior season. In 2023, Justice led the Panthers with ten sacks as a defensive end. After football season ended, Justice became a regular rotation player for the Orange men’s basketball team, serving as a forward while Coleman Cloer missed the first month of the season with an ankle injury. He helped Orange win its season-opener against Hillside and claimed a road win at Northern Durham. The Panthers would go on to win the Central Conference regular season and tournament championships. They also won a game in the 3A State Playoffs for the first times since 2016. On Friday, April 19, Justice officially signed to play football with St. Andrews College in Laurinburg, an NAIA school. During a ceremony inside Orange High School’s Gymnasium, Malykhai was joined by his mother, Asia, and his father, Jeffrey. Malykhai will continue to work hard in Laurinburg as he moves forward with his football career. His sister, Iyauna, has qualified for the regional track and field championships in the shot put even though she just started playing the sport this year.
