West Orange girls hoops season cancelled

The remainder of the season for the West Orange girls basketball team has been canceled.

West Orange Athletic Director Adam Miller confirmed on Tuesday that the team will not play its remaining regular season contests nor compete in the district tournament next week, citing internal issues throughout the season.

On Jan. 8, the Warriors had their game against the Olympia Titans called, ending early with roughly a minute to play after a verbal altercation between a West Orange player and a spectator, to pair with escalating tension among players.

Olympia won the game, 37-31.

West Orange was 8-8 at the time the season was called but was regarded as one of the area's better teams. The Warriors are coached by Misty Cox.
