ROANOKE, Va. – VHSL State Quarterfinals opened Tuesday night, with over a dozen of our local teams in action. In Class 3 boys action, two-time defending state champion Northside had a shaky start against a pesky Western Albemarle team.
The Warriors and Vikings went back-and-forth for much of the first half before Cy Hardy’s defensive presence made quite the difference. He had two big blocks before halftime before finishing the game with 17 points. Marvin Fields Jr. added 10 points in Northside’s 55-33 victory.
