Saturday’s Rewind: Large YouTube audience sees Lake Norman Christian upset Word of God

More than 8,000 high school basketball fans took to YouTube to watch Lake Norman Christian play Raleigh’s Word of God in a battle of N.C. high school heavyweights Saturday night.

Nationally ranked Word of God ran out to a big third quarter lead in front of a large crowd at home before Lake Norman Christian rallied to pick up one of the biggest wins in school history, 72-66 in overtime.

Phenom Hoop Report, which ranks unaffiliated Independent Schools along with public and private school N.C. teams, ranks Word of God (24-5) No. 2 in North Carolina, behind Charlotte’s Liberty Heights. Lake Norman Christian (13-4) is No. 12.

Allenspach made 9-out-15 field goals and finished with a team-high 21 points and six rebounds for Lake Norman Christian. Mikey Williams had 16 points, six rebounds, four assists. Trey Green had 15 points, three rebounds, one assist, and Hawkins had 10 points, six rebounds, two steals and a block.

Friday’s rewind: Providence Day gets big win after layoff

Providence Day hadn’t played a game in 10 days before Friday’s game at Covenant Day.

The Chargers were one of three schools in the Charlotte Independent Schools conference to take a 10-day pause due to rising COVID-19 cases in Mecklenburg County, joining Charlotte Latin and Charlotte Country Day.

Providence Day practiced for the first time Wednesday and got a big win Friday night, beating Covenant Day 42-40 on the road and ending a three-game losing streak.

Junior point guard Quave Propst-Allison made a jump shot off an out-of-bounds play with less than five seconds left to give Providence Day (5-10, 1-1 CISAA) the win.

Propst-Allison had 24 points. No other Charger had more than the six scored by JoMo Byrne and Khamani Wertz.

North Meck coach: Kids will adjust to CMS pause

North Mecklenburg boys basketball coach Duane Lewis said a month-long pause from practices and games will hurt his team, and all public school teams in Mecklenburg County. But Lewis said the players will figure out how to make it work when they return.

Last week, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools decided to stop athletics until Feb. 15 due to rising COVID-19 cases in the area and a directive from the Mecklenburg County Department of Public Health.

CMS teams that had already begun the playoffs (cross-country, volleyball) were allowed to continue, but the other sports were stopped. That included basketball, where Lewis team is ranked No. 42 by MaxPreps and No. 24 by Ball Is Life in two recent national polls.

At the time of the pause, CMS teams had played three games. When they return Feb. 15, teams will have one week of play before the regular-season ends. No other school system in the area has stopped playing, and Lewis acknowledges those teams will have a step up on CMS when play resumes.

On Friday, district Supt. Earnest Winston said he planned to keep sports paused.

“You’ve got to by the rules they give you,” Lewis said. “I’m sure all the teams in CMS will be behind a little bit but kids adjust. We’ll be fine. And if it’s the 15th (when we come back) and we get in three more games, we’ll be thankful for the opportunity to play again.”

Lewis said he was flattered to earn the national rankings (North Meck is No. 2 in the Observer’s Sweet 16 poll).

“It shows that the guys hard work has paid off,” Lewis said, “and people recognized us. Rankings are somebody’s opinion, but our guys have put in the time and we’re humbled by that. At the same time, if you lose, you fall out, so we’re trying to not get caught up in that.”
