Day 4: The final day of the GSHA basketball playoffs was a good one for first timers. The Newton girls and BEST Academy boys each won their first state championship, while Fannin County’s girls won for the third time. It was also a good day for two old reliables, as the Wheeler boys claimed the tenth state title in their storied history and the Houston County Sharks won their 12th wheelchair basketball title in 13 years.
The North Oconee boys successfully defended their state championship in the second day of competition at the GHSA basketball tournament at the Macon Coliseum. The Creekside girls won the school’s first championship and finished the season as the state’s only unbeaten team. The Hardaway girls also won their first state title and the Butler boys won their first championship since 1966.
