Posted By Don Moore on June 28, 2008
State Games of North Carolina is wrapping up in a big way this weekend with swimming at Lindley Park Pool, Baseball at Carolyn Allen (Horsepen Creek Rd.) but the real hit is High School Basketball at the Special Events Center at the (Greensboro) Coliseum.
We have 5 courts over there. We brought in 2 from Charlotte and it’s a great atmosphere. The local teams are doing great so if you have a photographer to send over it would be great. Dudley, Page, Ragsdale, Trinity, Northern Guilford are all going into today’s games undefeated and playing real strong.
