For the final four minutes of Tuesday night's game, North Hall watched anxiously as its hard-earned lead started to slip away.
Even when the momentum seemed to swing against her team, North Hall girls coach Kristi House said she never lost faith.
Even when their shots aren't falling, shooters shoot. That's the message, or a version of it, imparted by East Hall coach Joe Dix to junior 3-point specialist Hayden Chapman at halftime Saturday night, and it's the message that helped the Vikings defeat rival Gainesville 71-69 in a see-saw affair that remained in doubt until the final buzzer.

Each time a North Hall running back has had a big game this season, the credit has gone to the offensive line. "Without them, I'm nothing." That's fullback Caleb Faulkner after his 100-yard, three-touchdown performance in a win over White County. "My offensive line gave me great lanes to run through tonight. The success tonight is owed to them." That's halfback Imani Cross after his 280-yard, three-touchdown showing in a ...
