Vance High gets star guard back

Former Vance High guard Jaylen Curry is coming home.

Curry, a 6-foot-3, 180-pound sophomore, played for Vance last season, but enrolled at Combine Academy in Lincolnton and played on the Goats nationally ranked team. Vance is Curry’s natural home school.

Vance athletic director Carlos Richardson said Curry re-enrolled at the school Friday. Curry, who has participated in USA Basketball national development programs, averaged 11.4 points, 5.0 assists, 2.6 steals and 2.7 rebounds for Vance as a freshman. Richardson said the school had confirmed Curry’s eligibility with the N.C. High school Athletic Association and expected him to practice Saturday.

Curry is a Division I recruit who once scored 70 points in a travel showcase game.

Vance beat Hopewell 81-59 Friday and will host Mooresville Tuesday. On Friday, Daniel Sanford, a 6-8 junior forward, had 22 points and six rebounds. Corey Gaines (12 points, seven assists, five rebounds, four steals) and James Pearcre (12 points, three blocks) had strong games.

Combined, ranked No. 30 nationally by MaxPreps, was 14-4 heading into Friday’s home game with Elevation Prep.

According to the N.C. High School Athletic Association handbook, student-athletes may only participate in one season per year, per sport, a rule that would’ve prevented N.C. football athletes from playing in South Carolina last fall and playing in North Carolina next month.

No. 2 North Meck holds off No. 6 West Charlotte

North Meck’s boys, No. 2 in the Observer’s Sweet 16 poll, got 16 points each from Tony Waters and Jordan Crawford, and held off rival West Charlotte 67-61.

West Charlotte, No. 6 in the poll, got 18 points from Chance Morrow, 11 from Donovan Raymond and 10 from Ollie Alford.

North Meck (2-0) trailed 35-28 at halftime but rallied to tie the game heading into the fourth quarter.

Vikings junior Jeremy Gregory had 13 points and 10 rebounds. Davidson signee Chris Ford had 12 points, seven rebounds.
