Gillespie eyes state title, scholarship

When Keyrra Gillespie discovered Concord’s girls basketball team comfortably won the 3A state championship last Saturday in Chapel Hill, a bit of envy set in.

“It’s going to be Statesville next year,” Gillespie said with a monstrous grin. “We’re only losing three players. I think if we do what we did this year and work even harder, that’ll be us – as long as everybody has their minds on the same things and wants the same goals.”
