Girls on the nationally ranked Myers Park High School basketball team say they’re disappointed they can’t play in a national championship tournament next month. Β 

Tuesday, the State High School Athletic Association Board voted unanimously to deny the team’s request to play in the Dick’s Sporting Goods National Championship in New York City. Β Myers Park is ranked number 4 in USA Today’s national poll. Β They finished the season 29 – 1. Β Still, a state rule prevents teams from playing games after their season is completed.

And that brings us to our Question of the Night: Should North Carolina have a hard and fast rule for when a team’s season ends?
