On 97.9 FM WCHL and Chapelboro.com at 7 p.m., tune in to the undefeated Orange “Crush” Panthers as they host the winless Cedar Ridge Red Wolves. This game will showcase the immovable object that is Coach Pat Moser’s defense and is not one you want to miss.

Last week, Orange continued their dominant ways by posting a 56-0 shutout victory over an undermanned Northern Vance team. Cedar Ridge’s daunting schedule pitted them against a Northwood squad hungry for redemption following their loss to Orange the week before. And the Chargers faced little resistance, prevailing 79-28.
