Wednesday’s Rewind: Charlotte Country Day knocks off rival Charlotte Latin
Note: Scroll down for Tuesday’s coverage
Charlotte Country Day got a big home win over arch rival Charlotte Latin, ending a three-game losing streak.
The Bucs won 67-62 in front a big crowd.
“It was great,” Country Day second-year coach David Carrier said. “Latin is such a good team and so well-coached. The game could’ve gone either way. I’m just really proud of my guys. We had lost three in a row and we had lost to three really good teams. We didn’t play bad. It’s just that, in this league, on any given night, anybody can win or lose to whomever.”
With the win Wednesday, Country Day (16-8, 1-2) got its first CISAA conference win and kept Charlotte Latin (10-7, 2-1) from tying Cannon for first place.
Covenant Day, which upset Providence Day Tuesday, is tied with the Chargers, Chrlotte Christian and Country Day at 1-2. Cannon is 3-0 in league play.
Wednesday’s game was close throughout. Country Day led 16-11 after the first quarter, 28-23 at halftime and 47-40 at the end of the third quarter. Dallas Garnder led Country Day with 21 points and Carter Alessi added 20. Ned Hull had 32 for Latin.
“You know what was cool,” Carrier said? “When I looked into their eyes, they expected to win. I don’t know that Country Day’s had a lot of success against Latin over years, and I’m proud of the guys. They made big big plays down the stretch. That’s a sign of maturity.”
