Your knees are weak and your palms sweaty – and YOU’RE just standing on the bleachers watching the clock run down. On the court, the Nighthawks are down by two. With just seconds left, First Flight gets a fast break and sophomore Dylan Blake pulls up from the 3-point line and drains another bomb. The crowd goes wild!
Get ready for another thrilling season of men’s basketball with the fast-paced, light-up-the-scoreboard brand of basketball coach Chad Williams enjoys playing. The Nighthawks got two early wins over Ocracoke and Cape Hatteras, but open December with a slate of challenging games, including Saturday (Dec. 2) at home at 3 against Northside-Jacksonville, the defending state champs. Come out and support your Nighthawks this weekend and into February … or even March?
