Georgia HS Association to allow Wheeler High to play in national championship; Myers Park girls hope for same
The Georgia High School Athletic Association has granted Wheeler High's boys basketball team special permission to play in the Dick's Sporting Goods National Championship in New York City next month.
Like North Carolina, Georgia has a rule that prohibits teams from playing games after the season is complete. Wheeler parents began a petition that led to the special exemption.
Myers Park's girls have also been invited to the national championship, provided they win Saturday's N.C. 4A state championship game against Southeast Raleigh.
Myers Park officials and parents have also started a grassroots effort to try to get the NCHSAA to grant a special exemption. The NCHSAA executive committee will hold a meeting March 17 to make a determination, provided that Myers Park wins Saturday.

Charlotte Country Day football coach Bob Witman will retire at the end of this school year after 25 years leading the Bucs, according to a release from the school.
Witman will leave as the winningest coach in school history, compiling a record of 219-67 since he came to Country Day in 1990.
He also led the Bucs to eight state championships: 1993, 1995, 1997, 1998, 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2010.
"Coach Witman has a unique ability to develop student-athletes as both football players and as young men, and to build teams that consistently outperform expectations," Director of Athletics Abe Wehmiller said in the release. "The passion he has for his work with our kids is evident in everything he does. I’m disappointed I won’t get to work with him longer than I did, but know his impact on this program will live on even after his departure."
Country Day will begin the process of hiring a new coach later this week, according to the release from the school, and hopes to have a new coach at the school by mid-April. Witman will stay at the school through June to help with the transition.
