East-West week

The East-West All-Star games in basketball, soccer and football take place in Greensboro this weekend, and the R&L will staff both soccer games tonight.

South Iredell's Tiffany Whiting was the first Viking to play in the girls basketball game since the mid 1980s. She didn't score, but was pretty positive afterwards. It was tough for Whiting to get her shots off, going against more athletic guards who played tight man-to-man defense the entire game. Plus, in those types of all-star games, the "headliners" typically try to hog the show.

The East, down by 18 points, roared back to win by eight last night.

Lake Norman graduate Rachel Steeb will play in the girls soccer game today at 7 p.m., and Allen Lomax - also from Lake Norman - will play in the boys game at 9 p.m.

We'll have the girls story in the paper tomorrow, and a boys game recap will be available on www.statesville.com tomorrow as well.
