The Woodland Heights Middle School wrestling team’s selection as the Randy Marion Team of the Season is a testament to a program that has redefined excellence and doubled in size in just two short years. Under the guidance of dedicated Coach Mitchell and Coach Jeffries, the Braves transformed into an undefeated 12-0 powerhouse that dominated the mats with a relentless offensive style, averaging a staggering 79.3 points per match. This record-breaking season culminated in the school’s first-ever district title, where the team’s depth was on full display: 14 out of 18 starters reached the podium, including nine gold medalists and 12 finalists. The sheer scale of their victory was historic, as they secured first place at the championship tournament with 295.5 points—gapping the runner-up by a massive 136-point margin. More than just statistics, this honor recognizes a group of athletes who braved injuries, illness, and weather delays to prove that hard work and resilience can build a championship legacy from the ground up.

SPRING 2026

South Iredell High School Softball has been a force to be reckoned with this season. The team has put together the best record in program history at 19-6, claimed the North Piedmont Conference Regular Season Championship for the first time in 25 years, and dominated Mooresville to win the Conference Tournament Championship.

This outstanding group of student-athletes has shown incredible leadership, talent, and determination all season long. Their offensive production has been impressive, totaling 216 RBIs, 28 home runs, and 64 stolen bases, while their pitching staff has recorded 114 strikeouts against opposing teams.

Finishing the regular season at 17-6 and first place in the conference, South Iredell earned the #2 seed in the 7A West bracket and received a first-round bye in the State Playoffs. This historic season is a reflection of the hard work, dedication, and commitment from the players and coaching staff.

This team is truly something special and so much fun to watch. The girls continue to grind as they head into the playoffs, building on what has already been a record-breaking and unforgettable season. We are incredibly proud of all the time, effort, and heart they have put into making this year one to remember.
