Wells Fargo Conference Cup

The Wells Fargo Conference Cup winners for each conference across the state were released last week. The Conference Cup is based on regular season performances within conference play and is designed to recognize the best interscholastic athletic performances within each of the NCHSAA’s conferences. In most conferences, points are awarded based on participation and standings in conference play. Each conference determines its own method of awarding points.

In the Central Piedmont 4-A Conference, West Forsyth held off a tough challenge from Reagan, 98.5-94.5, to capture the CPC Cup. The Titans captured conference titles in women’s lacrosse, women’s track and field, men’s swimming and diving, men’s soccer, men’s cross country and tied for the share of the league title in women’s tennis and women’s basketball. Final Standings: West Forsyth 98.5, Reagan 94.5, Reynolds 70.5, Davie 69, East Forsyth 65.5, Glenn 36.5.
