Northern Guilford: Not quite home yet
The road-weary basketball teams of Northern Guilford High were getting pretty excited about playing their first games in a home gym that they've only been allowed to get a 15-minute look at so far. But the fire marshal won't let them open Friday against Morehead as had been tentatively scheduled. Coach Stan Kowalewski said the Nighthawks will play those varsity games at the Northern middle school next door at 6 and 7:30. The new grand opening will come next Tuesday vs. Western Alamance.
The Northern boys will be coming off a MLK holiday matchup Monday against Mt. Zion Academy's postgraduate team (6 p.m. at the coliseum; Greensboro Day meets Page at 3 in that Scholastic Classic lineup).
By the time they get a true home game, Kowalewski's team will have played 15 games off campus and one in Northern's middle-school gym. The good news: Their last 7 conference games are at home and they're currently residing in 2nd in the league.
