In the end, it was the Eagles who pulled off the upset against a program that’s been to back-to-back NCISAA 2-A final fours. The Eagles took down the Chargers, 62-55 to open conference play. Here is part two of the standouts from Friday’s game between two in-city rivals.
Brittney Butts (Wayne Christian 2022 guard)
Wayne Christian got big production from their guards against Wayne Country Day and Brittney Butts was one of the reasons why. She played an excellent game scoring, passing and defending while not making mistakes on either end. Her discipline against an excellent guard combination for the Chargers played a huge role in why the Eagles won this contest.

Although she wasn’t hitting shots from the outside, Brunson did a lot of things to keep her team in the game late. Despite that, the sophomore guard is still off to an excellent start as she closes in on 1,000 career points as a Charger. While this WCDS team has taken their lumps so far this year, Brunson is the key consistent cog that’ll keep the Chargers in games.

Kimora Cox Kimora Cox 5'5" | SG Wayne Country Day | 2022 NC continues to show why she’s one of, if not the top defensive player in Wayne County. The junior guard was picking up 94 feet the entire contest and defended well without fouling for most of the night. She’s also a lights out three point shooter that loves to get shots in transition. Expect her breakout junior season to continue over the next several weeks.
