Orange is the last undefeated team in Big 8 Conference play after beating CHHS 73-64 on Thursday night.
It has been quite sometime since the Orange Girls Basketball team has earned a tournament trophy.
That changed on New Year’s Eve when the Panthers defeted Bartlett Yancey 51-38 for the tournament championship. It was the culmination of three games in three days which started with Orange continuing its best-of-73 series against Southern Alamance (it was the third time they’ve played in five weeks) with a 43-26 win. The following night, the Panthers defeated former Big 8 rival Cardinal Gibbons 55-43, its first victory over the Crusaders since 2008.
In their season-opening eleven-game winning streak, Orange’s victory over BY was certainly the most difficult. They trailed 17-6 early in the second quarter, their largest deficit of the season. Veteran Lady Bucs coach Lindsey Page flustered Orange’s offense by throwing a mixture of 2-3 zones, 1-3-1 zones, midcourt traps and regular man-to-man defenses.
While Kaylen Campbell justifiably won tournament MVP honors after scoring 18 points against Gibbons and 17 against BY, it’s likely Orange wouldn’t have won the championship without the contributions of Icez Barnett and Jazlyn Watson.
Barnett came off the bench to score 15 points and grab a season-high 15 rebounds. Watson scored ten points and registered eleven rebounds.
After wins over Northern Durham and Chapel Hill this week, Orange is now 13-0 heading into the most difficult week of the season (weather permitting). The Panthers, 13-0 overall and 3-0 in the Big 8, are supposed to play Northwood in Pittsboro on Tuesday, Webb on Friday and Cedar Ridge on Saturday. Of course, Mother Nature will have the final word.
Here’s Icez talking about winning the Holiday Hoopla championship and what’s ahead for the undefeated Lady Panthers.
Orange’s Icez Barnett on Winning the Eastern Alamance Holiday Hoopla Tournament
Kaylen Campbell deservedly earned the Holiday Hoopla MVP, but one could argue Orange wouldn’t have the tournament without the play of Icez Barnett. In the championship game against Bartlett Yancey, Barnett scored 15 points and grabbed 15 rebounds as Orange won 51-38.
Last Friday, Orange trailed Eastern Guilford 18-2 before they stormed back to win 74-60. It was another game where Connor Crabtree and Logan Vosburg were huge, scoring 27 and 24 points, respectively. But there were other factors. Like junior Mitch Portman, who scored eight points. Freshman Joey McMullin added seven.
Instead of just letting Connor and Logan do the talking, they insisted the whole team participate after Orange concluded 2016 with a tournament championship, just as they started the calendar year by winning the Big 8 Tournament Championship in February.

After trailing 18-2 to Eastern Alamance at EAHS, the Panthers stormed back to beat the Wildcats 74-60. Rather than just focus on one player for the post game video, we made it a team effort.
