Prep Boys Basketball Roundup: Chargers win on James’ basket
FROM STAFF REPORTS
CHANCELLOR 59, CULPEPER 57
After trailing by 13 points in the third quarter, Josh James drove the lane and scored with one second on the clock to cap a second-half rally that gave Chancellor a key 59–57 Battlefield District win over visiting Culpeper on Friday night.
James finished with nine points and 13 assists for the Chargers, who were without Chris Holmes and Chris Patterson—two of the team’s top three scorers—for the game.
Emannuel Royster—normally a reserve player—got his first start and made the most of it, providing solid defense and all eight of his points during the Chargers’ second-half comeback.
“I can enjoy my Christmas now with that win,” Chancellor coach Rob Reich said.
Nik Stewart led the Blue Devils, who lost their first game of the season, with 24 points.
Chancellor will play Deep Run, at 6 p.m., on Dec. 28 in the Colonial Forge Christmas Tournament.
Culpeper takes part in the three-day Daily Progress Tournament beginning Dec. 27.
