Greensboro Day 68, Cannon 49:
Nationally ranked Greensboro Day (32-3) jumped out to a 22-9 first quarter lead in its semifinal and wouldn’t let up. Solomon Smith and Jordan Perkins had 13 points for the Bengals, ranked No. 11 nationally by MaxPreps and No. 23 by USA Today. Pearce Landry added 12 and John Newman had 11. Cannon got 19 from Jairus Hamilton but no other Cougar scored more than nine. Greensboro Day will face rival High Point Wesleyan (28-4) for the state championship Saturday at noon at Charlotte Latin. If the Bengals win, they could also win a trip to New York for the DICKS’ National Championship that Providence Day played in last year. Also, Greensboro Day beat Wesleyan twice this season -- by a combined seven points.
