Wachovia Bank, N.A., along with the North Carolina High School Athletic Association, has announced the standings for fall sports in the Wachovia Cup competitions for the 2007-2008 academic year.
The Wachovia Cup award, sponsored by Wachovia Bank, N.A., and the NCHSAA, recognizes the high schools that achieve the best overall interscholastic athletic performance within each of the state’s four competitive classifications. The Wachovia Cup program is in its 29th 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. NCSSM won state titles in both men’s soccer and women’s tennis. East Wilkes and Hampstead Topsail are deadlocked in third at 145 points.
Wachovia Cup points are determined by a system based on performance in state-championship events. All schools that finish in the top eight positions (plus ties) earn points. In the playoff events involving teams from more than one classification, Wachovia Cup points are awarded based on the school’s standing against other schools in its own classification. If fewer then eight schools from a classification compete in a sport, only those schools that are represented are eligible to receive the Wachovia Cup points.
Points are awarded for all sports as follows: 50 for first, 45 for second, 40 for third, 35 for fourth, 30 for fifth, 25 for sixth, 20 for seventh and 15 for eighth. In the event of a tie, the schools receive an equal number of points based on the number of teams that tie and the number of teams that finish higher in the standings. Five points are awarded for each sanctioned sport in which a school competes.
Wachovia Cup standings are announced three times each school year: once after the fall and winter sports, and concluding with the winner after the spring sports season ends in June. The engraved silver cups are presented during NCHSAA Day activities at UNC-Chapel Hill each fall.
