Jackets lead Wells Fargo Cup standings

Roanoke Rapids High School is off to a good start in its quest for a third consecutive Wells Fargo Conference Cup championship as the best overall athletic program in the Northern Carolina 2-A Conference.

During the fall athletic season, Roanoke Rapids won the conference championship in women's tennis and shared league titles in football and men's soccer. The Yellow Jackets also piled up points with second place finishes in men's and women's cross country. Roanoke Rapids finished with a league-leading 40 points during the fall campaign.

"We were consistent," Roanoke Rapids athletic director Tim Bennett said. "Our footcanada goose parkaball and soccer programs had to come back from early setbacks to win shares of the conference championship. We were first or second in every sport but one, and volleyball showed improvement throughout the season and ended up in the middle of the pack. We had a total of 179 student athletes participate during the fall season."

A conference championship is worth eight points. Second place is worth seven points. The scoring continues all the way to eighth place, which is worth one point.

Corinth Holders and Franklinton head into the winter season tied for second place with 34 points each. Corinth Holders swept the cross country titles. Franklinton didn't have a conference championship but was near the top of the standings in most sports. Bunn edged North Johnston for fourth place, 31.5 to 31. Louisburg (16.5), Warren County (13.5) and Northwest Halifax (9.5) finished sixth through eighth respectively.

Though conference action in the winter athletic season is still early, Bunn appears ready to make a move with its basketball programs in the running to sweep the men's and women's titles. Corinth Holders appears to have a chance at challenging for the NCC lead through the winter standings with its swimming, wrestling and men's basketball programs, creating a three-way chase for the Conference Cup Championship during the spring athletic season.

"No question it will come down to the spring season," Bennett said. "It appears we will finish well in men's and women's swimming. We'll have to see where our basketball and wrestling teams finish up. It's still early in the conference season. We have 146 student athletes participating in sports during the winter athletic season."
