Many of the state’s top high school basketball teams, and some of the most sought after college recruits, played on the Outer Banks last weekend at the 2021 Albemarle Landscapes Good Guys vs. Cancer Classic at First Flight High School.
The 13-game event over two days honors the memory of the father of First Flight High School athletic director and head coach Chad Williams, and raised more than $5,000 for the American Cancer Society.
This year’s edition is once again garnering rave reviews as one of the premiere high school basketball events in North Carolina.
The atmosphere here at First Flight is once again Off the Charts!!! Another great event with premier talent! #GoodGuysVsCancer @Phenom_Hoops @firstflighthoop pic.twitter.com/owlyUUCGfg

Dear @firstflighthoop, thank you.
You are one of a kind & NO ONE deserves this weekend more than you. Your state, your community & most importantly your dad are more than proud of you.
Best part? We are just getting started. See y’all in 2022 OBX. #HoopState #GoodGuysvsCancer

The competition and quality of play at #GoodGuysvsCancer was off the charts. But equally off the charts was seeing and learning from coaches as they coached against the best of the best. That level of preparation and intensity will DEFINITELY motivate me moving forward! 💯 pic.twitter.com/fIP3qLaecc
