Friday’s Rewind: Weddington, Lake Norman Christian win; United Faith’s Ms. 53

There aren’t many surprises among players on the Weddington High boys’ basketball team.

“Most of these guys have been together for quite a while,” Warriors’ head coach Gary Ellington says. “They know each other pretty well. And they trust one another.”

Weddington, with only two seniors but a wealth of experience, used that cooperative spirit well Friday night in its 75-61 victory at Charlotte Catholic in a meeting of Southern Carolina 3A Conference unbeatens.

“It’s a group of kids who grew up together,” Ellington says. “It shows on the floor.”

The Warriors won because they answered every Catholic threat. And shutting down Cougars’ scoring leader Colin Thomas didn’t hurt either.

In the closing seconds of the first half, Catholic’s Kevin Dumser connected on a 3-pointer, cutting Weddington’s lead to 32-25. It seemed as if the Cougars might take some momentum into the locker room. But the Warriors’ Chase Lowe dashed down the court and scored a momentum-destroying layup as the buzzer sounded.

In the third quarter, Catholic’s Vaughn Thomas hit a 3-pointer, cutting Weddington’s lead to single digits (49-40). But 10 seconds later, the Warriors’ Brock Bowen answered with a basket.

It was like that throughout the night.

“They’re a veteran team,” Charlotte Catholic coach Mike King says of the Warriors. “The big key, I thought before the game, would be turnovers. And we had problems with that.”

The Cougars turned the ball over 11 times in the first half, often when trying to penetrate Weddington’s defense.

“We pride ourselves on defense,” Ellington says.

That defense also held the Cougars’ Thomas, who was averaging 20.5 points a game, to seven points.

Ellington says Weddington alternated A.J. Cook and Chase Lowe on Thomas, with Lowe defending the Charlotte Catholic standout much of the second half.

“Lowe is a really, really good defender,” Ellington says.

THREE WHO MATTERED

Chase Lowe, Weddington: Lowe, a 6-5 junior, scored 15 points - 13 of those in the first half. And he played solid defense in the second half against Cougar standout Colin Thomas. Lowe also had nine rebounds, eight assists, four steals and a block.

Kyle Frazier, Weddington: A 6-3 junior, Frazier also scored 15 points, including three 3-pointers, and grabbed seven rebounds.

Kevin McArdle, Charlotte Catholic: McArdle, a 6-3 senior, scored a game-high 18 points - 15 of those in the second half. He and Kevin Dumser accounted for 27 of their team’s 36 second-half points.

WORTH MENTIONING

▪ Weddington had its best shooting night of the young season, connecting on 29-of-53 field goal attempts for 54.7 percent. Charlotte Catholic hit 21-of-55 for 38.1 percent.

▪ Cougars’ coach Mike King says two players in the regular rotation missed Friday’s game for health reasons. But he said that didn’t explain the loss. “Weddington outplayed us,” he says. “They are a very good team.”

▪ The Cougars will play three times in four nights next week, including a Monday makeup game at Piedmont. The Southern Carolina 3A has moved its Friday night games to Thursdays for the rest of the season.

▪ The girls’ varsity game went to Charlotte Catholic, by a 51-35 score.

THEY SAID IT

“Charlotte Catholic is a well-coached team. I told our players that when you face Charlotte Catholic, you need to play solid defense for all 32 minutes.” - Weddington coach Gary Ellington.

WHAT’S NEXT

Weddington plays Tuesday at neighborhood rival Marvin Ridge. Charlotte Catholic visits Piedmont on Monday.

A few thoughts about CMS basketball and swimming

A few thoughts about Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools postponing athletics until Feb. 15.

▪ The district put most sports on hold due to rising COVID-19 numbers in the area. On the surface it’s understandable. Health officials say the next three weeks are especially precarious, with a deluge of infections and hospitalizations expected in the aftermath of ill-advised holiday gatherings. Projections show Mecklenburg’s caseload will remain high through mid-February.

CMS decided to allow volleyball and cross-country teams to keep playing because they’ve already started the postseason.

With conference tournaments scheduled to begin Friday -- which is technically postseason -- I would’ve allowed the swimmers to finish out, too.

▪ I think the benched athletes will still seek to work out with their teammates, particularly as they look around and see almost all other N.C. schools playing. We saw it in the summer. I think their chances of contracting the virus may be increased in so doing versus being on campus in a more controlled environment.

▪ Coaches and athletic directors say they feel frustrated because they don’t feel they have a role in play-or-no-play decisions. That should change, if true. Those are the folks on the ground.

▪ For basketball teams, the news is tough. There will be one week left in an already shortened regular-season on Feb. 15, when teams come back. At best, teams will play six games. For those that qualify for the playoffs there will be more.

In most years, the N.C. High School Athletic Association doesn’t let teams play after their seasons end. The swimming state championships end Feb. 13.

But here’s an idea: ask the NCHSAA for a waiver and host a county swimming championship tournament for CMS teams due to these special circumstances. Let the teams have a city championship competition with trophies and medals for the winners. Have a qualifying regional and a final.

For basketball, host a similar tournament for non-playoff teams, perhaps offering play-ins for teams that lose in one of the first two rounds of the NCHSAA playoffs. This could be a two-week tournament with a loser’s bracket, so teams get more games.

Give the winner the Harris/Hamilton Cup, named for the two best athletic directors CMS has had -- the late Dave Harris and Vicki Hamilton.

(Some athletes may not be able to play because they play another sport, but I’m guessing the vast majority of basketball players and swimmers won’t be in that situation.)
