Wayne Country Day picked up a convincing win in their season opener over visiting Freedom Christian from Fayetteville. The Chargers defeated the Patriots, 64-18 Tuesday in Goldsboro and several players stood out from this contest. Prep Girls Hoops NC highlights the top performers from this opening night match of NCISAA 2-A opponents. [player_tooltip player_id="261089" first="Kyrah" last="Davis"] (Wayne Country Day 2024 guard) [player_tooltip player_id="261089" first="Kyrah" last="Davis"] finished with a game-high 22 points in the Chargers win over the Patriots. She’s a knockdown three point shooter who has a quick change of pace and the ability to create shots for herself and her teammates. Davis is a 2024 prospect that is only going to get better as the season goes on and could end up as one of the top scorers on this team at seasons end. [player_tooltip player_id="217750" first="Kimora" last="Cox"] (Wayne Country Day 2022 guard) Most of [player_tooltip player_id="217750" first="Kimora" last="Cox"]’s buckets came in transition in their season opener because of her defense. The unsigned senior had a number of steals that led to run out layups and that got the offense started in the first few minutes. Her ability to be a two-way player for this team will be critical in the Chargers chances of winning a state championship this season. Jada Vanderhorst (Wayne Country Day 2026 forward) The Chargers frontcourt added a prospect with a lot of potential in Jada Vanderhorst and she did a lot of her damage in the paint. She created a lot of second chance points for her team and finished well through traffic. Vanderhorst could be a key piece going forward as she looks to build a name for herself in a talented 2026 class. Bella Dalton (Freedom Christian 2025 guard) The Freedom Christian Patriots struggled offensively, but one of the bright spots was freshman guard Bella Dalton. She was pressured by good Charger defense throughout the night, but still managed 10 of her teams 18 points. Dalton will be a primary scoring and ball handling option for the Patriots as the season progresses.
