Orange Panther of the Week: Shannon Sollars
Our first Orange Panther the Week for the 2024-2025 academic year is senior tennis player Shannon Sollars. Last week, Sollars started her senior year with wins over Voyager Academy and Eno River Academy. Sollars defeated Carrington Foster of Voyager 8-1, then teamed with Molly Kruse to defeat Foster and Addie Baker in doubles. As a sophomore, Sollars was a member of the first Orange tennis team in school history to win a conference championship. She teamed with her sister Erin to reach the 3A State Tournament in doubles play. Since Shannon has been a part of the program, the Lady Panthers have reached unprecedented heights. As a freshman, Sollars played on a team that won in the opening round of the state dual tournament when Orange defeated Wilson Fike. On that day, Sollars won at #6 singles as the Lady Panthers defeated the Golden Demons 5-3. A year later, Orange defeated First Flight for another win in the state playoffs, though they had to drive all the way to Kill Devil Hills to do it. This year, Sollars isn’t playing alongside her sister, Erin. But Shannon is being coached by her. Erin has joined Coach Justin Webb’s staff as an assistant. Sollars will graduate next June as one of the most accomplished Orange tennis players in history. She plans to attend Alamance Community College. Shannon and Orange will face Cedar Ridge on Monday at the Mebane Tennis Center.
