Anderson Pope at 135 work Anthony Pfieffer to a 8-3 decision to tie the score at 12-12. At 140 Zach Rimmer battled tough against Devante Andujar but came up short in a 5-2 decision. Robinson re-takes the lead 15-12. JD Wynn at 145 worked Kenan Robertson to a 13-5 major decision and the Panthers regain the lead 16-15. The crowd emotions have been going back and forth match by match. Cole McLelland wrestling at 152 turned Cody Murgas for the pin at the 1:32 mark.

The Panther crowd continues to cheer on the Panthers as they feel the end is near as the score is Orange 28, Robinson 15. Justin Barbee faced Xavier Figueroa at 189. Justin wrestled an aggressive tough match turning Xavier several times. Xavier hurt his shoulder and was unable to continue. Justin wins by injury default. This sealed the Championship. The Orange crowd stands & cheers the 2011 3A State Team Champions. The Panthers forfeit the last 2 matches making the final score 34-27. Alex Shawver is Most Valuable Wrestler. What a night for Panther fans who traveled the 150 miles to Concord, NC. Congratulations to JM Robinson on their great season and especially to JM Robinson for their wonderful hospitality. The Panthers will not have too much time to savor the win as the Regional Tournament begins Friday on the road but this time on to Chapel Hill. Congratulations PANTHERS on a job well done.
