  1. Good write up by AD above. Davidson Day is a good athletic team. They hit a lot of 3s on what appeared to be a triangle and 2 defense. If they are #2 in the state, then Caldwell is surely top 10. I counted 8 turnovers in the first quarter (and bet we had over 20 for the game) and doubt that we were much better than 60% from the free throw line for the game. A few less mistakes and if a few shots fall, we are right in it. Good high school game and look forward to some more good ball on Horsepen Creek Road as our Eagles continue to improve.

  2. I believe they are ranked #2 in the NCISAA 2A as opposed to be ranked #2 overall in the state.

  3. The private schools are very different from the public schools when it comes to 2A vs 3A. In public schools there are few 2A programs that can compete with a lot of the 3A programs in sports but in the private/acedemy programs there often is very little difference at times. There are a ton of 2A basketball programs in the private schools that would blow out most 4A basketball teams. That is what is so “cool” about the type of schools that the private schools play because most nights you are able to see some really good basketball. Unfortuately with a lot of the public schools you will see 2 bad or marginal teams for both the boys and girls on the floor in the same night. This is also a product of so many good players transferring or never going to their local public high school in the first place. The crowds energy is generally better in the public gyms but the play on the floor has dropped. These are my opinions and observations over the past 5 years or so.
