CHAPEL HILL – The South Fork 2A has three schools in contention for the North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) 2A Wells Fargo Cup through fall sports.

The statewide standings in 2A are led by First Flight and the South Fork 2A’s Lake Norman Charter with North Lincoln in third in Maiden in ninth place.

Hibriten in the Northwestern Foothills 2A is in fourth place in 2A.

Also, Watauga is ninth in 3A and Lincoln Charter is in ninth in 1A.

The Wells Fargo Cup goes to the state’s top athletic programs in each classification, with points

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, Wells Fargo Cup points are awarded based on the school’s standing against other schools in its own classification. If fewer than eight schools from a classification compete in a sport, only those schools that are represented are eligible to receive the 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 and 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.

Wells Fargo Cup standings are announced three times each school year: once after the fall and the winter sports and concluding with the overall winner after the spring sports season ends.
