17. NBA game breaks out at football gameBoth
Davidson Day (Davidson, N.C.) and
Harrells Christian Academy (Harrells, N.C.) coaches said they expected a high-scoring football game last November. But 184 combined points, 837 passing yards from one player and 1,641 total yards?
Preposterous. Ridiculous. Unfathomable.

But it was all true and then some in host Davidson Day's 104-80 North Carolina Independent Schools Athletic Association Division 2 semifinal victory Nov. 9.
"It was PlayStation stuff," Davidson Day coach Chad Grier said.
The two teams alone combined for more points than four NBA games that night.
"I don't really have good words to describe it," Grier said. "If I didn't see it myself, I probably would not have believed it. I just feel it's unbelievable."
Many stars emerged from all the offensive explosions.
* The biggest was Davidson Day 6-foot-3, 192-pound junior quarterback
Will Grier, who completed 35 of 42 passes for 837 yards.
* Davidson Day running back
Jordan Brown caught 13 passes for 302 yards and two
touchdowns.
Aaron Seward had six catches for 221 yards.
Glen Coates (5-105),
Jordan Young (6-97) and
Michael Stevens (5-92) also had big games for Davidson Day.
* Harrells 6-foot, 202-pound senior running back
Russell Washington ran 45 times for 438 yards and seven touchdowns.
* Davidson Day piled up 924 yards and Harrells added 717.
None of the statistics were considered for national NFHS records because as an Independent school, they are not recognized by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association.
