Palmetto Classic
West Charlotte vs Christian Academy of MB
Day 3 at the Palmetto Classic is here and with it, we have 6 more games on tap. Game 2 on the day puts West Charlotte against Christian Academy of MB. Both teams come into this one 1-1 on the event looking to get out of town with a winning record on the week. MB is a bit beat up, having lost 2 starting guards on day 1 but feature a talented and bouncy roster that fought through it and got the win on day 2. West Charlotte counters with Patrick Williams, one of the most naturally gifted players in NC, and company and knows how to put points on the board. Who leaves this one on a high note' We were about to find out.
Neither team looked especially sharp to start the game as a sloppy first quarter saw both teams miss more than they made on the way to a 12-7 first quarter (12-7 WC). Things would pick up some as we went into half at 24-18 (WC up), but the game had not really picked up as we had expected. It would be a trend that would continue but with WC opening up a 9 point lead going into the 4th quarter. MB would not be able to get back in this one though and would fall to the score of 48-40.
