RRHS celebrated award winners in 21 different Varsity Sports as well as winners of Northern Carolina Conference (NCC) awards.  RRHS had a successful year in the NCC.  The NCC has 19 sports in which member schools can compete.  This year RRHS had 6 conference coach of the years, 8 conference player of the years, and 9 conference championship teams.  This success led RRHS to be crowned the 2018-19 NCC Wells Fargo Cup champions, which recognizes the best overall athletic program in the conference. 

Roanoke Rapids Athletic Director Mark Snead stated, "We had a great night celebrating RRHS Athletics.  We had to move the celebration to the gym, but it showed what truly makes RRHS and its athletic teams special.  We faced some adversity, but we regrouped, adapted, and made the night successful.  I am so proud of our athletes, coaches, school,  fans, and community this year.  We have all come together to have a great year in athletics.  To win the 2018-19 conference Wells Fargo Cup is just icing on the cake."
