Nelson urges single state basketball champion for true honor
Nelson argues that a unified state tournament would give small Nevada schools real meaning by crowning one statewide basketball champion each year. He notes current divisional titles lack impact, contrasts with four AA schools, and insists a lone winner would unify interest and create lasting pride. Virginia City could become a true state champion in B.
