Charlotte Country Day Boys Basketball Coach Dwayne Cherry Resigns.
Charlotte Country Day boys basketball coach Dwayne Cherry has resigned, Bucs athletics director Abe Wehmiller told the Observer.
Cherry, an alumnus of the school, did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
In an email to Country Day families, Wehmiller said Cherry informed him and head of school Mark Reed earlier this week.
“Coach Cherry has been a mentor to countless student-athletes and a valued colleague and friend to his fellow coaches and teachers here at Country Day,” Wehmiller said. “I know that stepping away from this role was a tough decision for him because of how much he cares for our program and our school. But I also know that he leaves the program with a strong foundation.”
Cherry has coached at Country Day for 10 years. His teams were 126-164 and made seven postseason appearances.
Country Day was 9-20 last season and 0-10 in CISAA conference play. Since 2005, Country Day has had three winning seasons. Cherry’s teams produced two of them, going 18-12 during the 2018-19 season, and 19-14 in 2017-18.
In the email, Wehmiller said the school would post the job next week and begin to build its candidate pool.
