High School Basketball Gameday 01.29.16
Friday’s Key Games
No. 1 Providence Day at No. 16 Cannon, 7:30 p.m.: At least three major college coaches are expected to watch a game with at least nine Division I recruits. Providence Day (22-3, 5-0 CISAA) is ranked as high as No. 12 in the national polls and can all but close out a fourth straight CISAA title with a win. Cannon (16-7, 3-1) has won two in a row and looks for an upset that could help earn it at least a share of the crown.
Butler at Myers Park doubleheader, 6 p.m.: Myers Park’s girls (13-4, 7-0), ranked No. 4 in the Sweet 16, have a two-game league lead over Butler (13-6, 5-2) in the Southwestern 4A league standings. Butler has won three straight and needs to make it four Friday night in order to have a title shot. In the 7:30 boys game, Butler (14-5, 6-1) is tied for first with Independence. Third-place Myers Park (9-8, 4-3) looks to extend a two-game win streak and get back into the league title race.
No. 4 Concord at No. 10 Cox Mill, 7:30 p.m.: Concord (17-2, 12-1 South Piedmont) leads the conference, ahead of Concord Robinson (13-3, 10-1) and Cox Mill (15-3, 10-2). Concord has won eight straight games; Cox Mill five.
