We are saddened to hear of the passing of Nikki McCray-Penson. The former @CHSDragons and @LadyVol_Hoops star was inducted into the National High School Hall of Fame in 2015. She set 4 state records by the time she finished her high school career, all of which still stand today.

Today's slate of games in the boys' state tournament was the most competitive set of games in the history of the modern tournament. The average margin of 3.83 points per game is the smallest since classes were established in 1972-73 and at least four games were played in a day.
