Charles City humbled by much more focused, unified Patrick Henry Patriots team

Charles City Panthers’ Head Coach De’Quantae Mason has preached to his team that sometimes they need to be humble when things don’t go their way. Saturday night’s contest against Patrick Henry was a key example of a lesson the Panthers needed to take to heart. The visiting Patriots held Charles City scoreless in the third quarter as they cruised to a 74-22 victory over the Panthers. From the onset, Charles City looked like they would hang with the visitors. Cosey Robinson’s post score along with Taylor Bey’s underhand lay-in provided the hosts an early 4-0 advantage. After a Patriot score,…

Lady Trojans continue hot start, cruise to 65-26 victory over York

Looking to bounce back from a down year, New Kent’s Lady Trojans’ basketball team turned to James Montgomery to return the program to prominence after former head coach Neko Burson elected to take a position elsewhere. Needless to say, Montgomery’s belief of player-to-player defense for the entire length of the court was evident in Friday night’s contest against the York Lady Falcons. Dominating from the get go, New Kent cruised to a 65-26 victory in the Bay Rivers District contest. In the first half, Alline Alexander showed off her offensive touch as she scored 16 points in the first half,…

Panthers’ stifling defense keeps ARGS in check as part of season-opening win

Entering into the 2023-24 season, the biggest question Charles City’s Panthers boys’ basketball team had to answer is how to make up roughly 90 percent of the team’s scoring from last year that was now gone due to graduation. Good thing for Charles City Head Coach De’Quantae Mason, that 10 percent showed up early Monday night. Senior Jonlei Coles scored the first 12 points for the hosts, and Charles City’s defense held the visiting Appomattox Regional Governor School’s (ARGS) Dragons to a mere point in the second half as they cruised to a 65-16 opening night victory. Coles came out…

In return to floor, Charles City Lady Panthers dominate ARGS

The last time Charles City Lady Panthers fielded a varsity basketball team was the 2019-2020 season. For the last four years, the program has worked on rebuilding and providing a foundation for structure. Monday night’s return for the Lady Panthers marked not only a win on the court for the program, but a win on the scoreboard. Jumping out to an early lead and using man-to-man pressure to force turnovers, Charles City defeated the visiting Appomattox Regional Governor’s School (ARGS) Lady Dragons 50-20 to kickoff the season. Kaylee Stewart’s wing three-pointer accounted for the first points of the game for…
