Charlotte Christian 64, David Crockett (Tn) 62:
Sophomore guard Josh Price, son of Charlotte 49ers coach Mark Price, hit the game-winning 3-point shot with 2.8 seconds left in Christian’s upset win over the No. 11-ranked 3A team from Tennessee. David Crockett guard Patrick Good -- who had 44 points in a 98-93 loss to No. 1 Providence Day Friday -- had a game-high 21. Christian got 14 points from freshman guard J.C. Tharrington, 12 from Kyle Mason. Price finished with eight points.
Charlotte Christian led by 10 at halftime, but coach Shonn Brown warned his team that David Crockett, which made 18 three-point shots against Providence Day, would eventually make some Saturday. David Crockett got the lead with a three late in the game and Christian nearly fumbled the ball away before a Knight dove on it and Brown called timeout with 2.8 seconds left.
He called a play for Price, thinking that David Crockett would cover up Tharrington and Terrelle Brown, who led the Knights in scoring.
“I said to Josh, ‘It doesn’t matter if you haven’t been in the game the last four or five minutes,’” Brown said. “I said, ‘You’re money. You get it and you let it go.’”
Price found himself wide open in the corner off Brown’s designed inbounds play. Price let it go. And like his coach said, he was money.
“When it went up,” Brown said, “I knew it was going in. Those are big moments. To beat a team of that magnitude with our young guys is huge. They came to work today and their work paid off.”
