Not your father’s Country Day. Bucs are 3-0
Two years ago, when Charlotte Country Day was looking to rebuild its basketball program, the school conducted a nationwide search that included nearly 100 candidates and eight finalists. Finally, the school picked somebody familiar: a former state championship coach at rival Providence Day named David Carrier.
At the time, Carrier had won 434 games, including going 227-93 at Providence Day in a 11-year stretch that included four straight state finals appearances from 1996-2000. And before Carrier got to Country Day, he had only coached one team that didn’t finish above .500.
His first team at Country Day? It went 1-17.
But Carrier, who turned 58 Nov. 1, didn’t panic and didn’t seek to revamp his roster. He just built. And built. Last season, Country Day was 17-16 and won a game in the state playoffs. After Tuesday’s 72-62 win over Metrolina Christian, this year’s Bucs are 3-0 and thinking just about anything is possible.
“I love these guys,” Carrier said, “and I’ve had them working for three years now, and we’ve got a lot of seniors, and it’s just been fun seeing them grow up, and seeing them become a family.
“It’s been fun for this old man.”
Tuesday, Carrier said his team played about as good a first half as any team he’s ever coached, running out to a 45-18 lead. Metrolina made a second half comeback behind senior Michael Wilson (22 points, seven rebounds, three assists), but the Bucs’ lead was too much.
Country Day had four guys in double figures, led by Amare Bethel’s 17 points. Joining him were Carter Alessi (15), UNC-Pembroke recruit Dallas Gardner (14) and AJ Hewitt (10).
This was the kind of team -- and the kind of win -- that Carrier was envisioning, even when his first Bucs team could barely win a game.
“I tell you, man we’re enjoying the ride,” Carrier said. “We had a slow build, and we played a lot this summer. We worked out a lot this fall. We had most everybody back on our team and we’re just enjoying the moment. We feel we’ve got a lot of potential and I just love these guys.
“I feel like we are a family and it’s a lot of fun and I’m very blessed.”
