Wow, Chatham Charter what a win. Those kids and coaches have done something no one expected then to do. Incredible
During the game or after ? No call for it either way. The game was at South Granville ?
Game at South Granville suspended with 19.1 seconds left ... players will return Thursday to finish it. No fans allowed.
I'm sure there is plenty of video to sort through. Hope no players from either school involved.

Teresa Allen (mother of 8th grader Al Lee) was live streaming on Facebook.....I just watched the whole thing...Cops went overboard.....Student waving sign got right up in Reidsville bench during timeout...and got taken down...what did he think was gonna happen...I blame the administration of South Granville...watch it if you can.....I sent a message to her that she should send video to NCHSAA (for all the good it will do).......................South Granville players were not involved as far as I could tell................
I was at opposite end of the floor. The number of fans emptying onto the court was not good. Could have gotten really bad really fast. It's a shame a game that good had to end like that
Is it me or are incidents like this happening way too often around this country. I see videos of fights during games involving little kids to high school kids. Usually by parents or fans who can't behave. It's really pathetic what society has turned in to. It's just a game people!!!!!
IMO, any spectators who got involved in a negative way should be banned from attending any future games.
not sure with 19 seconds left and down by 6 with SG shooting FT.'s that it would be worth an hour and half trip.........still looking at video it looks like a school official made a feeble attempt to stop the idiot with the sign that was heading for the Reidsville bench.............if he was stopped where he made the feeble attempt...none of this would have happened.............................................................
I think they should send a message to SGHS and make it worth the trip and start the clock at 2 or 3 minutes if it is proven the SGHS went into the Reidsville huddle with a sign and add the technical. Not worth 1 and a half-hour drive for 19 seconds to finish the game !

Saw another video and a student from SG definitely went into the Reidsville huddle during the timeout. A deputy tackled and subdued that idiot. Fans started to pour onto the court. Another law enforcement officer started to spray into the crowd.
This could have easily been avoided by playing in a bigger gym. Way too many people in the gym. Great game and highly contested. Emotions on both sides on high. Unfortunate end to a fantastic game.

Coach Ross tweeted that the players, coaches and Admin couldn't have been more supportive after the incident
Terrible that this incident happened. This is what I think happened based on the posts: ONE student carried a sign into Reidsville's huddle. He was tackled apparently by a security person and then an incident erupted. Now we have people calling for the school to be suspend from the playoffs or "taught a lesson" by rewriting the rules of the game. To me with my limited info it sounds as if one student used terrible judgement that security responded quickly and in the highly charged atmosphere an incident took place. Please correct me if my conclusions are faulty. My question is do we all want all schools judged by the behavior of one student and actions taken to impact players who, by most accounts had no involvement in the action?
still stand by my statement.....the apparent school official could've stopped the whole thing if he had made a better attempt at stopping the fool with sign from getting up in the Reidsville players and coaches while they were huddled at THEIR BENCH during a timeout.....not blaming SG coaches or players...evidently it was heck of a game...............................
That kid should have stopped when he tried to stop him. That should be a technical foul. Not saying we are innocent in the matter.
seems like if the Nchsaa would stop being cheap and have regionals in neutral sites with a nice sized gyms this stuff wouldn't happen. I'm not sure I've ever heard of this happening in those settings. Too many emotional people, in a cramped setting with the whole season on the line.
I think a technical should have happened. Also nchsaa putting regionals in a neutral setting.
Regionals are at neutral sites. This Saturday...westerns are in Hickory...easterns are in Greenville/Fayetteville.
true but for years the regionals had semis and finals at neutral location.....hey and I'm so old that I remember when the NCHSAA had the Final 8 at a neutral site......for years 4A was in Greensboro Grimsley, 3A was at Durham high school, 2A was at W-S Reynolds and 1A was at Garner High School.....old timers remember those days?? I liked it when it was like that......very exciting
