from the Shelby Star newspaper:
“Baseball is a game of breaks and we just didn’t get enough of them this weekend,” said Crest coach Steven Hodge, whose team lost 4-2 on Friday, won 4-2 on Saturday and lost 2-1 later on Saturday in a series dominated by pitching and defense. “To get this far with a team with three seniors is unbelievable. Now we know what it takes to get here and build off this season.”

Troy Minor had two outstanding throws from the outfield on Saturday…His throw from right field nailed a runner at the plate and his throw from left field cut down a Crest runner at third base….Logan King was a small bull behind the plate for Northern, as he kept everything in order back there at the dish and he took more than his fair share of a beating, but in the end he may have gotten beat and banged up, but his team, Northern Guilford, beat Crest for the 3-A Title….

JT Jarrett, with 4 RBI over the weekend, was named MVP of the 3-A Championship Series at Zebulon….

The last out of the game, in the Top of the 7th Inning, with the bases loaded for Crest and Josh Pike on the mound for Northern Guilford, came on a Fly Ball to right field, caught by JC/John Clark Ouzts, to end the game, the season and the careers of 12 Northern Guilford Nighthawk seniors, and it all came to an end with Northern Guilford, crowned 2017 NCHSAA 3-A Baseball Champions…
