Congratulations to the Northwest girls ( 4-A ) , Northern girls ( 3-A ), Eastern boys ( 3-A ), and the Southwest boys in 4-A. The Northwest girls defeated previously unbeaten Mallard Creek to reach the finals, while the Southwest boys were victorious versus Butler, also unbeaten until they played Southwest. The Northern girls beat Jacksonville to advance, while the Eastern boys defeated conference foe Northern to board The Ship's premises. Northern , losing their top scorer in the second round at West Brunswick, scrapped their way to the Final Four as a sixteen seed. Congrats to Coach Chambers and the gutty Nighthawk squad. A standing ovation to the girls of Northwest, the Northern girls, the Eastern boys, and the Southwest boys. Go over yonder and show 'em where The Bling belongs.
