North Stokes goes toe to toe with Prep. Tough home loss for the Vikings. Final score 78 to 71. Vikings played great tonight. Down 10 at start of second quarter North goes on a 21 to 6 run to lead at the half 38 to 33. North goes up 12 in third quarter. Prep came back and hit free throws down the stretch. North played a great game against a team that we all know recruits. Too bad 1a basketball has come to this. A team as good as North should be on even ground with all other teams, as well as Mount Airy, East Surry, and South Stokes all have had great teams in recent years but we have Prep there. The NCHSAA must do something.
