Great game both teams. But the action got going ( Dad’s gone wild for the second game this week) Maybe NW legs started getting tired as Grimsley up the Defense. Wiggins had a strong game in front of big brother. Good luck to both teams during playoffs.
Grimsley had the atmosphere rocking tonight. Had some big time professional players come back to show some support for the Whirliehoops. Didn’t realize the Whirlies are that young.#3 #11 for Grimsley and the #4 for NW. Wow looking forward for this match up for a couple more years. Hey Andy can you tell me names of those players?
#3 for Grimsley is sophomore Alex Taylor…Alex is also a wide receiver on the Grimsley football team, and a very good one at that…#11 for Grimsley is freshman Zacck Wiggins…Zack’s brother Aaron Wiggins was at the game tonight, and he plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder…#4 for Northwest Guilford is sophomore Jaylen Cross…Cross was playing some inspired ball tonight, and I thought NWG could have gone to him even more….
Thanks Andy great group of young men I will be attending these two every time they play. Jaylen Cross was carrying NW in the first half if I’m not mistaken Grimsley put a little more pressure on him second half but talented kid.
