Saints advance in FCA Winter Classic
Southern Wayne played the game and reaped the rewards Tuesday afternoon.
Play-making guard Duntae Wright pumped in a team- and season-high 17 points as the Saints turned back Wayne Christian, 70-53, on opening day of the FCA Winter Classic.
“We played together,” SW head coach Brian West said. “I just told the guys to play the game. You take every game one day at a time and never take the game you’re playing in for granted. You give it everything you’ve got and leave it out there.”
In other quarterfinal-round games, Wayne Prep defeated Rosewood 64-49, Wayne Country Day routed South Johnston 81-55 and Coastal Christian stunned James Kenan, 43-23.
Play continues today inside Kornegay Arena on the University of Mount Olive Campus. Kenan and South Johnston tip off at 2 p.m. in consolation-round play, followed by Rosewood and Wayne Christian at 3:30 p.m.
Former Classic champ Wayne Country Day meets Coastal Christian at 5:30 p.m. in one semifinal game. The other semifinal pits Southern Wayne against Wayne Prep at 7 p.m.
Admission is $10 for a day pass and $20 for a tournament pass.
