Cannon School 79, Providence Day 58:
Cannon (18-11, 7-2) won its fifth straight game and closed within one game of Providence Day (21-10, 8-1) in the CISAA race in front of UNC coach Roy Williams and coaches from N.C. State. Cannon ended the Chargers’ 39-game conference win streak on a night Providence Day played without three starters. It was Providence Day’s first league loss since Feb. 5, 2013 against Charlotte Latin. Tuesday, Philip McKenzie had 17 points and 10 rebounds for Cannon and Qon Murphy had 18 points. Devon Dotson had 33 points and five assists for Providence Day, which can clinch a fifth straight outright league title at home Friday against rival Charlotte Country Day.
