Providence Day 82, Charlotte Christian 71:
Providence Day (15-5, 3-0 CISAA) won its 33rd straight conference game in front of a sold-out crowd at Charlotte Christian, which included former UNC All-American Antawn Jamison. Fans were turned away more than 30 minutes before tip-off.
Charlotte Christian (16-3, 2-1) jumped out to a big early lead and led 22-15 after the first quarter. The Chargers rallied behind junior guards Dotson and Wertz who combined for 62 of the Chargers’ 82 points and played the entire game. The Charagers built a lead, first making outside shots, then making free throws down the stretch. Chargers freshman Luke Stankavage finished with 11 points, two rebounds and was 4-for-4 from the free throw line in the fourth quarter. The Knights got 23 points from Mack, a 6-8 sophomore, 20 from 6-6 senior Rob Peterson and 11 from 6-9 junior Blake Preston.
Providence Day, which won its sixth straight game, plays St. John’s (DC) Saturday at 5:30 in the Music City Classic in Nashville, Tenn. St. John’s (10-4) is in the same conference as the nationally ranked DeMatha Catholic team the Chargers played at the Hoodies House tournament last month. Charlotte Christian, which had its four-game win streak snapped, hosts 4A public school power Mount Tabor (13-3) at 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
