An unprecedented decision: The NC State Board of Education's Independent Interscholastic Athletic Appeals Board has overturned the viral disqualification of Mallard Creek track star Nyan Brown in the NCHSAA 8A state championship meet.
Mallard Creek is now the co-8A state champion with Jordan High School.
The NCHSAA’s Board of Directors convened for an emergency meeting on Tuesday morning to confirm the decision, which was passed down from the Athletic Appeals Board.

A High School was ROBBED of a State Championship
The Mallard Creek boys track and field team was disqualified for taunting because Ngannou Brown raised his hand before crossing the line to win the 4x400m relay.
THIS ISN’T TAUNTING OR UNSPORSTMANLIKE
I love attacking the football at a negative angle‼️ This creates the opportunity for full speed YAC, while helping to reduce the chances of defenders under cutting 👌🏽
7on7 keeps getting further and further away from football.
Less development.
More stupidity.
More theatrics.
More people embarrassing the game.
Fighting a ref at a 7on7 is insane work.
The whole thing is getting out of hand.
This is doing the exact opposite of what 7on7 was intended to do.
It isn’t just about the kids anymore smh
