7A #NCHSAA Matchups #PhenomHoops East #1 Southern Durham vs. #9 Clayton #5 New Hanover vs. #13 Garner #3 Lumberton vs. #11 Heritage #2 Cardinal Gibbons vs. #10 Riverside-Durham West #1 North Meck vs. #8 Weddington #4 Hickory Ridge vs. #12 Davie County #3 Marvin Ridge vs. #11 West Meck #2 Mooresville vs. #10 Independence Most Intriguing Matchups: - Mooresville vs. Independence: Mooresville has tremendous balance, offensive firepower, and have proven themselves all season long with experienced guard. But Indy's record doesn't represent this team and their toughness, as this looks to be a battle. - Marvin Ridge vs. West Meck: What Coach Ewell has done at West Meck has been impressive, but they will go up against a balanced, veteran, and sneaky group in Marvin Ridge who has been thriving all season long. Two coaches that know each other very well, there is a lot on the line in this game.

Double double with 18pts v Knightdale in conf championship

40 points, 9 threes. In 3 quarters. @StrandRyder broke both school records last night. All 9 of his 3's & 35 of those points in the first half. I've been able to witness a lot of great performances; this one was special.

22pts vs. Knightdale
