People’s Defender

It was “one last time” on Friday, March 22 at North Adams High School for the senior girls and boys basketball players and cheerleaders of the Southern Hills Athletic Conference. All of those seniors took the court at NAHS as part of the 39th annual C103 Senior All Star game, a night dedicated to all the years of hard work by these student/athletes and of course, their families.

As usual, the stands were nearly full as the evening tipped off with the girls All Star game, pitting the White Team coached by Lynchburg’s Whitney Lewis and Fayetteville’s Tory Rummel against the Red Team, handled by North Adams’ Rob Davis and Whiteoak’s Ron Harris.
