“I knew we had the ability to win the conference. The guys came out today and took care of business,” North coach Daron Atkins said. “The guys played extremely smart.
“(Justin) played extremely smart today. He's a freshman and he's going to be somebody to be reckoned with the next two years.
“I can't say enough about our seniors. Cody, Jody, Brandon and Brandon came out played hard and played to win. Carson is the sleeper on our team. A couple matches where our other guys had an off day he snuck in there with a 40 or 41 and it really counted.”
Trey Scott from Ashe County was named conference player of the year for the second straight season. Last year he tied with Cody Collins for player of the year honors.
“Trey Scott had a fantastic year,” Atkins said.
