Oak Hill Warriors playing Jan. 24

For the first time in more than a decade, Oak Hill Academy boys’ basketball team, the number 1 team in the nation, is heading to Concord to take on the Concord High School Spiders.

The Oak Hill Warriors will square off against the Concord Spiders on Wednesday, Jan. 24, at 7 p.m. at the Cabarrus Arena & Events Center. The JV teams will play at 5:30 p.m.

“The last time we played Oak Hill back in the ’80s, we only lost by one point,” said Concord Spider Basketball Coach Andy Poplin. “Not many teams can say that much. With the team we have in place this year, I think we can go all the way.”

Frank Lapsley, general manager of the Cabarrus Arena, agreed, adding that the 2006-2007 Concord Spider boys’ basketball team looked “great in the NorthEast Medical Center Prep Classic Tournament last week.” The Concord Spider boys’ team won the tournament.

Oak Hill is best known for its top-ranked boys’ basketball program and regularly boasts undefeated records. Oak Hill alumni include Carmelo Anthony (Denver Nuggets), Josh Smith (Atlanta Hawks), Jerry Stackhouse (Dallas Mavericks), Stephen Jackson (Indiana Pacers), Steve Black (Milwaukee Bucks), Rajon Rondo (Boston Celtics) and DeSagana Diop (Dallas Mavericks).

General admission seats are $10 and are available now at all Ticketmaster outlets, online at Ticketmaster.com and at the Cabarrus Arena & Events Center box office. Call 704-920-3976 for more information or visit www.concordspiderbasketball.com.
