REFLECTIONS:

...WHAT A GAME!  Exciting with a controversial-emotional ending! IF ONLY...!!!

...Hard play by both championship teams

...How PROUD Northside Is OF OUR Players, Coaches And Staff!

...THANK-YOU to our MONARCH-FAITHFUL FANS & COMMUNITY (including the Cardinal Fans) For  Your Support! It made a difference - ALL SEASON!

...The 2's...describing the last 3 State Playoff Games...won/lost margin!

...59 Consecutive Wins...Maybe Never Again?

...Seasons of 30-0/10-0...&... 29-1/10-0...WOW!

..."THE 10"...SENIORS...What a Special Group! (Will Highlight them in a future article)

...The COACHES...what a 2 Year Run!

...Can't overlook always-present Athletic Trainer Greg Marr and the team managers and Cheer Leaders!

..."THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES"

...BUT THEN...The embarrassing-unthinkable-Non-Monarch act of a few, who let their emotions get the best of them and in a child-like act thew items on to the coliseum floor in protest of the official's calls!!! Hopefully the Reynolds security cameras have identified you as your actions hurt Northside and the hard play of the Monarch team prompting the Northside AD to send the following to Cox-Mill & the NCHSAA:

"To our loyal fans and to the fans of Cox Mills, we would like to apologize for the actions of a few of our fans. I can promise you the actions of these few do not represent Northside High School. Congratulations Cox Mills" @CoxMillHS @NCHSAA

"COME ON, MAN!"... CONGRATULATIONS MONARCH BASKETBALL ON A GREAT SEASON! "THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!"
