East Chapel Hill played in many tight games in 1996-97. Their first four wins were close, and so were just about all their postseason victories. They survived a six-overtime game that clinched the conference title, overcame a deficit in the first playoff game in school history, and then found ways to eke out wins when they played on a neutral court in the 3-A Eastern Regional. Go on the road with the Wildcats, and on the bus, as they continue their run back to Chapel Hill.
