Raleigh, N.C. Millbrook’s girls basketball team moved into the No. 1 spot in the HighSchoolOT Top 25 rankings this week, but the Wildcats’ stay atop the east likely won’t last much longer.
Despite a fierce comeback in the second half, No. 1 Millbrook suffered its first loss of the season with a 64-62 defeat at the hands of No. 5 Apex Friendship and junior Indya Nivar.
