It's ABC 13 Team of the Week time. We showcase two newly crowned state championship teams. The Hidden Valley girls won the Group Double-A title for the second straight season. Their win 59-45 win over Waynesboro gave them 16 straight victories.
At the Single-A level, the Nelson County boys made their first trip to state worth-while. They capped off a 30-and-1 season with a 3-point win over Surry County in the finals.
Brandon Garrett, Nelson Coach - "We started from scratch two years ago and to get to this point it's an amazing accomplishment so I hope that it will lay the foundation and encourage kids to come out and work hard and they can see what the results can do."
Thomas Brown, Nelson Co. Senior - "A lot of people start giving you a lot of respect and I think we deserve it. We climbed a real hard road and we have a real tough schedule and it just feels great to have the first state championship in school history and hopefully many more."
