Kernersville, N.C. Just days the coronavirus pandemic halted all eight basketball state championships, the Bishop McGuinness Lady Villains were competing in the 1A eastern regional final at East Carolina University.
Bishop McGuinness had won five of its past six games prior to facing Weldon, who had one blemish in 2019-20, inside Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum. The territory was not unfamiliar for Bishop’s girls basketball program, but surely was a different test for the 11 student-athletes. The Lady Villains had two seniors on their roster a season ago.

Mount Airy, N.C. Mount Airy took a tremendous leap forward in its 2019-20 basketball campaign.
Just one calendar year before, the Granite Bears were 7-16 overall and had one conference victory. Mount Airy flipped that into winning 15 games (15-10, 7-3 record) and finishing second in the league’s standings when the regular season came to a close.
The Northwest 1A Conference is ultra-competitive each year, but Mount Airy finished behind only Winston-Salem Preparatory Academy eventual co-state champion at the 1A level in 2019-20. The Granite Bears’ three conference defeats came against the Phoenix (twice) and East Surry (once) during the 10-game stretch.
