The NCHSAA playoffs are here and what an overload of basketball it was last night. We made our way up to Northern Vance High School to watch the semi-finals of the North Carolina 1A/2A Conference and boy were we see a lot of talent in the gym…suggestions to anyone reading, next year be sure to make your way up to watch some of these conference games as there is next level talent littered throughout these rosters, and the fans are great throughout the games.
First up was a matchup between 1A Granville Central and 2A South Granville. South Granville won the previous two meetings, this season, between these two teams. However, Granville Central was certainly not going to play without a fight.
On the surface, this one presented a great storyline as South Granville freshman Bobby Pettiford would go up against Granville Central freshman Terence Harcum. However, this game was so much more than that, as the others stepped up in a big way for both teams. The game went into over time as Granville Central senior Drue Williams knocked down consecutive 3s under 10 seconds. Unbelievable atmosphere.
Final Score (OT)
South Granville – 65
Granville Central – 55
