Cary, NC - Cary celebrated Charlie Adams’ commitment to sports and our community by naming the Cary High School Gym in his honor. Surrounded by friends, family and colleagues, Mr. Adams was bestowed this recognition as a tribute to his abilities as an athlete, a leader, and a role model.

Following an outstanding high school athletic career while attending Cary High School from 1952 through 1956, Charlie Adams played basketball at East Carolina University before returning to Cary High School as a coach in 1962.  In 1967, Adams joined the North Carolina High School Athletic Association as assistant director.

For 42 years Charlie Adams served in the North Carolina High School Athletic Association, including 25 years as executive director.  During his tenure as executive director, North Carolina has taken its place among the top high school associations in the country.

Among Adams’ impressive career and honors, he is a member of the East Carolina University Sports Hall of Fame, a charter member of the Cary High School Athletic Hall of Fame, the North Carolina Athletic Directors Hall of Fame and the prestigious National High School Sports Hall of Fame.

How do they compete?  Each team creates an original 2-1/2 minute routine that must include a pyramid, tumble sequence, a 1 minute cheer, and a dance all set to an original mix of music.  These routines are then scored with deductions for falls and imperfect tumbling, with points added for originality and synchronicity.

In Small Varsity (under 15 athletes) Athens Drive finished 2nd.  Competing against 18 other teams, Cary High ( Medium Varsity, 15-17 team members)  finished 6th with a great routine scoring 240 points and a bid to Nationals.  Leesville Road knocked it out of the park with their first place finish in that category.

Holly Springs High competed in Large Varsity (18-19 athletes) and scored 255 to earn a second place behind Weddington High from Mathews, NC.

Green Hope almost scratched after key flyer Cristen Harden sprained her ankle Friday night during practice.  Coach Nicole Reed called an early Saturday morning practice to rework the routine and the team managed to come out in 5th with 237.5 points in Super Varsity (20-21 athletes).  Cardinal Gibbons was edged out and surprised by Broughton High who won with a perfect routine.

Many of these teams will meet again at the Tri-9 competition on Thursday, December 3rd at Holly Springs High School and again in the spring for the Wake County Cheer competition.  Time enough for them to work out any kinks hopefully recover from injuries.

Once again, Michael McLoone has shared some his fantastic sports pictures with CaryCitizen. This time, it’s Cary High vs. Green Hope in soccer.

The game was played on Monday October 12, 2009. Green Hope came away with a win, 6-0.
