Wachovia Bank, N.A., along with the North Carolina High School Athletic Association, today announced the standings for fall sports in the Wachovia Cup competitions for the 2007-2008 academic year.
Charlotte Myers Park sits atop the 4-A standings with Chapel Hill in second place, while Charlotte Catholic paces the 3-A classification ahead of Asheville. Raleigh Cardinal Gibbons holds the top spot among 2-A schools, and Kernersville Bishop McGuinness has the lead in the 1-A classification standings.
Myers Park, although it didn’t win a fall sports state title, finished second in both volleyball and women’s cross-country and scored a total of
202.5 points. Chapel Hill tallied playoff points in five different sports, including a state title in women’s cross country, to amass a 190 total, 12.5 points off the pace. Raleigh Broughton, with state championships in men’s soccer and men’s cross country, is in third at 172.5 points.
In the 3-A classification, Charlotte Catholic has 227.5 points, keyed by a state championship in women’s dual team tennis and runner-up finish in football. That puts Catholic 47.5 points ahead of Asheville, which was second and third in the state in men’s and women’s cross country, respectively. Wilson Fike and Asheville T.C. Roberson are knotted in fourth with 147.5 points.
Cardinal Gibbons paces the 2-A standings by virtue of state titles in volleyball, and women’s cross country, and a second-place finish in men’s soccer. West Henderson is 42.5 points off the pace, with playoff points in four sports including a runner-up finish in men’s cross country and third in women’s cross country. Salisbury is in third place in the 2-A Cup chase and Orange is in fourth.
Bishop McGuinness teams did not win a single state team championship in the fall but had a pair of state runner-up finishes to forge a 12.5-point lead over Durham’s North Carolina School of Science and Math.
