TYRO — Five Rowan schools played at home on Friday.

The only road warriors were the North Rowan Cavaliers. They turned in a memorable performance at West Davidson, socking the Green Dragons 93-62 in a Central Carolina Conference game.

When George Maxwell is on, there’s no stopping him, and he turned in a monumental effort with 10 3-pointers and 42 points. He also had 10 rebounds.

Ir was the second biggest scoring night in program history. Brian Paige scored 50 against North Stanly in the 1988-89 season.

“George was 6-for-6 on 3s in the third quarter,” North coach Jason Causby said. “He didn’t force anything, and all his points came within the flow of the game. Our guys did a great job of recognizing he was having a career night and they kept feeding him the ball.”

Amari McArthur did such a good job of feeding Maxwell that he turned in what may have been the most unique double-double in county history, despite scoring only five points. McArthur had 12 rebounds and 13 assists.

“He was selfless enough to focus on assists and rebounds,” Causby said.

Dyzarious Carpenter scored 11 points for the Cavaliers (8-6, 3-0), who are tied for first place with Thomasville. Carpenter made three 3-pointers in the second quarter. That’s what got North rolling after a slow start.

North made 17 3-pointers.

Jayden Polk added 10 points for the Cavaliers, who won their fourth game in a row. North has scored 92-90-87-93 during its winning streak.

“Proud of the guys for how they’ve bounced back after a rough start,” Causby said. “Pleased with how we’re scoring.”

West Davidson (2-13, 0-3) got 23 points from Colson Priddy and 20 from Andrew Crews.

MOUNT ULLA — West Rowan stayed hot, beating Lake Norman Charter 84-68 for the Falcons’ sixth straight victory.

The Falcons (6-5, 3-1) got off to an awful start in the South Piedmont Conference contest and trailed 9-0 against the Knights (6-7, 2-3).

Will Givens Jr. shot the Falcons back into the game — he scored their first eight — and the Falcons grabbed the lead on some strong plays by Athan Gill.

Givens finished with 28 points. Gill scored 22, and the Falcons got scoring from seven more players.

“Lake Norman Charter is a good team, a lot taller than us, with 6-9 and 6-7, and they’ve got a very good point guard,” West coach Dadrian Cuthbertson said. “We did a solid job of walling up inside and making them make shots over us. Defensively, it was one of our better games, and we had one of our best rebounding games.  We got good minutes from a lot of people. The goal is to keep getting better every game, and I think we’re doing that.”
