CHAPEL HILL– It’s the final week of high school gridiron action of the regular season. Postseason play begins next week. A few intriguing local showdowns certainly have the potential to light up your Friday night, but none more so than the Orange Panthers’ drive to perfection against Southern Durham.

On Chapelboro.com at 7 p.m., tune in to the undefeated Orange “Crush” Panthers as they attempt to put the finishing touches on the season with yet another victory. This week, Head Coach Pat Moser’s squad faces a formidable opponent in the form of the 8-2 Spartans of Southern Durham.

Will the Panthers be able to shut down the high-flying attack of the Spartans and cap off the undefeated year? You won’t want to miss history being made.
