Jackson Powell put up a double-double, but it wasn’t nearly enough in the North Davie JV boys basketball team’s 48-20 road loss to North Rowan on Jan. 15.
The first quarter was close, but the Mavericks took complete command with a 17-4 run in the second that resulted in a 23-8 halftime spread.
“We fell apart against their press and never settled into our offense,” coach Caleb Davis said.
Powell’s double-double included 11 points and 12 rebounds. Justin Green was next with six points.
“Jackson had his first double-double of the season and we did better with our halfcourt defensive rotations than last week,” Davis said. “We’ll aim to do better against China Grove.”
North 26, China Grove 17
After a frigid first half, the Wildcats found their rhythm and stormed to a home win on Jan. 16.
The Red Devils led 6-0 after the first quarter and 11-5 at halftime. “We did everything pretty well in the first half other than score,” Davis said. “We had plenty of good looks, they just wouldn’t fall.”
The second half was a different story. North outscored China Grove 21-6 after intermission and evened its record at 2-2. Jacob Self (eight), Green (seven) and Evan Hempstead (five) were the top scorers. Green pulled down eight rebounds and Powell (11 rebounds) collected 10-plus boards for the fourth time in as many tries.
“We brushed it off at halftime, came out refocused, took the lead and got a much-needed win,” Davis said. “The weather has taken away all practice time recently, so we needed a morale boost after a couple of losses. I’m proud of how the team rallied in the second half.”

After dropping its first two games, South Davie had something to smile about when it played at home on Jan. 15.
