Northeast quiets Comets……

Three games in four days finally caught up with the Blue Comets in the
second half. After a very competitive first half, the Northeast Rams used a
relentless man to man defense and timely scoring to pull away from Asheboro
and register a 75 to 59 win. The win puts the NEG Rams in the championship
games against the North Forsyth Vikings, a team they split with during the
regular season. Michael Griffith led the Rams in scoring with 20 while Asheboro had
four players in double figures; Jones 18, Hilliard 15, Pratt 12 and Thomas
12. The Comets go to Kannapolis for the first round of the state play-offs
Monday night.

The No. 3 Asheboro girls upended No. 2 Northeast Guilford 60-49 to reach tonight’s final. There, the Blue Comets take on No. 4 North North Forsyth.
