Basketball Coverage and More

Thursday's paper features coverage of the Albemarle-North Stanly basketball games, as well as Alb.-NS wrestling, West basketball and more. I also have two stories on the front page Thursday: one is about Craig Lisk, a member of the 1940 national champion Legion team, plus a feature on Bob Harris' new autobiography "How Sweet It Is: From the Cotton Mill to the Crow's Nest".
