Keith Wilkes named head football coach at Olympic High

Olympic High athletics director Ken Konstanty had more than 40 candidates apply for the school’s head football job after longtime coach Barry Shuford resigned last December. Wednesday, Konstanty said he was “thrilled” to announce that former Vance and Winston-Salem Carver coach Keith Wilkes would replace Shuford at Olympic.

“We’re excited to get someone of a Shuford quality,” Konstanty said. “That’s what we were looking for. We’re confident coach Wilkes will be able to come in and our school won’t miss a bit. We’re hopeful he can take us to the next level.”

Konstanty said Wilkes will start working with the team this week. He likely won’t start working in the school until August.

Shuford coached at Olympic since 2007. His 2013 team was 7-5. After going 4-7 in his first season, Shuford’s next six teams produced no losing seasons.

Wilkes was hired at Vance in January of 2012 and coached the Cougars in the 2012 and 2013 seasons. The 2012 Vance team was 9-4. Vance was 6-6 last season after a 4-1 start. The Cougars lost their final three games and four of their last five. Vance High athletics director Carlos Richardson told the Observer that Wilkes and the school had a “mutual decision” to part ways after the 2013 season. Wilkes resigned in November, shortly after Vance’s season was over.

Wilkes, part of the 2011 class of the Winston-Salem/Forysth County High School Sports Hall of Fame, built quite a tradition at Winston-Salem Carver.

From 1992-2007, his teams were 139-62-1 with 11 conference titles and state championships in 1998 and 2003. Wilkes was 9-21 at Shiloh High in Snellsville, Ga., for three seasons before resigning and eventually landing at Vance.

In high school athletics, NCISAA basketball finals as good as it gets

High school athletes in North Carolina are awful lucky.

In a 26-year career at the Observer, I've been able to see high school sports championships in seven states and seen a few more while traveling. Nothing I've seen comes close to the job that the N.C. High School Athletic Association (public schools) and the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association (private schools) do with the state basketball championships each year.

Each event is the singular highlight of the prep season, along with the NCHSAA football finals. Due to the number of schools playing for finals, the NCHSAA divides its finals into two locations for basketball and three for football. The NCISAA, like today, packs them all into one gym.

That allows the fans to see all the top players and all the top teams. All of the NCISAA officials are on hand, from executive director Chuck Carter down to former coaches and athletics directors at the school level. In some ways, it's like a family reunion for the Independent Schools. And it doesn't hurt that the basketball is always phenomenal.

Time Warner Cable is broadcasting today's finals and from the packed gym to the players from other schools watching to the incredible decibel level, this is something special, something the participants will remember forever.

And that's what high school athletics should be all about.

CMS postpones Thursday's basketball games; full basketball, wrestling schedules

This week's major snow event is wreaking havoc with the high school winter sports schedules.

In Mecklenburg County, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools are out Thursday and all athletic activities are canceled. That's pushed games scheduled for Thursday to Friday.

CMS athletics director Sue Doran said school is out Friday, those games would move to Saturday. Doran also games could get pushed to Monday if conditions don't improve.

CMS conference tournaments are scheduled to begin Monday, but if regular-season games get pushed back, the conference tournament scheduled would likely be altered.

Two local conference tournaments were scheduled this week. The MAC tournament, which began Monday, was scheduled to conclude at Covenant Day in Matthews. That tournament has been canceled. The SPAA tournament semifinals are scheduled for Friday at United Faith in southeast Charlotte.

A SPAA official told the Observer that if semifinal games cannot be played Friday, both semifinals and championship games would be played on Saturday.

The private school state playoffs begin next week and the playoff seeding meeting is Sunday.

Wrestling regional tournaments are also expected to begin Friday, including the 4A West regional at Hough High.

With the possibility that some areas may not be clear by Friday, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association met via conference call on Tuesday and approved changes to aid schools in scheduling changes.

The NCHSAA, which frowns on Sunday events, will allow wrestling regionals to finish on Sunday, but is asking schools to make "every effort to avoid Sunday competition."

On Sunday, weigh-ins could not occur before noon and wrestling could not begin until 1 p.m.


In basketball, the NCHSAA will allow schools to play four games next week, with Friday being considered the “non-school” play date under the NCHSAA scheduling policies. Schools cannot play Saturday, but the extra playing date will allow schools to, say, make up a final regular-season game from this week and handle a 3-game conference tournament next week.

The NCHSAA state playoff basketball seeding will be done Saturday, Feb. 22, and all qualifiers must be submitted by member schools by 6 a.m. that morning.

Buzzer-beating half-court alley oop wins game, makes "SportsCenter" top 10

SouthLake Christian's Andrew Howard is probably having himself a pretty good week.

On Tuesday night, he took a half-court pass from teammate Miles Boone and threw down a sudden one-handed alley-oop dunk at the buzzer. SouthLake Christian beat Hickory Grove 61-59. Howard and his teams got mobbed by fans and Howard's dunk ended up No. 3 on ESPN's "SportsCenter" top 10.

And he did it on Senior Night.

SouthLake -- coached by former N.C. State legend Rodney Monroe -- improved to 16-7 overall and 11-4 in the Metrolina Conference. Howard ended the game with 15 points, eight rebounds and three blocks.

Former W. Charlotte/Harding basketball coach Gosnell White to retire from Marvin Ridge

Gosnell White, one of the winningest basketball coaches in Mecklenburg County history, will retire at the end of the season.

White, who coached the bulk of his high school career at Harding and West Charlotte, is currently at Union County's Marvin Ridge High. White started at Marvin Ridge in 2007.

His current team is 9-7 and plays rival Cuthbertson at home Friday.

In his career, White has won 533 games in 36 seasons. He coached at Harding before taking over at West Charlotte in the middle '90s. After winning more than 500 games and seven state championships under legendary coach Charles McCullough, the Lions program floundered after McCullough retired in 1994.

White took over after several other coaches had tried and returned West Charlotte to its previous dominant form. White's Lions won a Mecklenburg County public school-record eight straight conference championships from 1997-2004. His teams made five regional appearances. His 1998-99 West Charlotte team finished in the USA Today national poll top 10 and won the N.C. 4A state championship. That team is arguably the best public school team in N.C. history.

White has coached at Marvin Ridge since 2007.

Four players to be suspended for four games following Monday's Vance-A.L Brown girls basketball fight

 Four girls basketball players at A.L. Brown and Vance High Schools will each be suspended four games following their actions in a fight that ended Monday's game between the schools.

During the third quarter, a player from Brown and a player from Vance dove for a loose ball. The players became entangled and a fight broke out. Vance athletics director Carlos Richardson stopped the game with about three minutes left in the third quarter.

Brown was declared the winner 40-32. After the fight was broken up Monday, Vance's boys defeated AL Brown 70-49.

On Tuesday, school and state officials reviewed video of the incident. N.C. High School Athletic Association commissioner Davis Whitfield told the Observer that two players from each team were ejected for fighting. Per NCHSAA rules, that will result in a four-game suspension.

"We intend to contact both schools," Whitfield said. "That's not the kind of behavior we need from either side. We'll discuss the importance of sportsmanship and proper behavior. We will definitely follow up on this."

Vance was scheduled to play rival Mallard Creek at home Tuesday night at 6. Brown was to play at Hough.

Fight stops Monday's A.L. Brown at Vance girls basketball game

Monday's A.L. Brown at Vance girls high school basketball game was stopped in the second half after several players from both teams became involved in a fight.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools athletics director Sue Doran said the game was stopped in the third quarter. A final score was reported to media outlets of A.L. Brown winning 40-32. It was Vance's seventh straight loss. Vance, which lost 66-48 at A.L. Brown on Dec. 17, is 2-15 overall and 0-10 in the MECKA 4A conference.

Vance is scheduled to play rival Mallard Creek at home Tuesday night at 6.

Brown is 6-12 overall and 2-8 in conference play. Monday's decision ended a six-game losing streak for the Wonders, who play at Hough Tuesday night.

Vance athletics director Carlos Richardson said the fight broke out after one player from each team dove for a loose ball. Richardson said after the incident, he made the decision to stop the game.


Doran said that game officials and athletics directors from both schools were reviewing film of the game Monday. The N.C. High School Athletic Association is also looking at the tape.

"There was an incident," Doran said. "A scuffle broke out and the game was stopped and not resumed in the third quarter. This morning, the NCHSAA, the basketball booking agent and ADs at both schools are viewing the game tape so that everyone involved can make sure exactly what happened and individuals will be held accountable that need to be held accountable."

The NCHSAA penalty for ejection is two games; for fighting, it's four games. CMS will double any ejection penalty. CMS will not double the fighting penalty, Doran said.

After the fight was broken up, Vance's boys defeated AL Brown 70-49.

Video of Gaston Day's miracle shot to beat Victory Christian

Friday night, Gaston Day beat Victory Christian with a double-overtime buzzer beater from Derek McKnight with four seconds left.

The win put Gaston Day back into the Southern Piedmont conference race.

Victory Christian and United Faith are tied for first place, one game ahead of Gaston Day. Victory Christian has one league game remaining, Friday at United Faith.

Gaston Day hosts United Faith Tuesday.

If Gaston Day beats United Faith and United Faith beats Victory, there's a three-way tie for first.

Here's two videos of the big shot.
