Weekend Top Scorers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It was a basketball-filled weekend for me as I was able to catch some action in Fayetteville and in Snow Hills, North Carolina.  A typical high school game was played on Friday between South View and Seventy-First, and the Strictly 4 the Ladies Showcase was hosted on Saturday.  Let's take a look at the top scorers from the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--
