Kerr's evening made it 18 games in a row in which he has scored at least ten points. Corey Carey also deserves some recognition as he scored his first points of the season.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. West Mecklenburg has already played their next matchup (against West Charlotte), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. Chambers will head out on the road to square off against Hough at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
