After the final buzzer, Myers Park had dominated the second half and secured a 56-41 win in a nonconference game.

The 15th-ranked Myers Park (2-0) team, representing the 704 area, was guided by Amani Barner’s 15 points from the freshman. The junior Chayla McDaniel contributed 14 points and the senior Jerin Tuesdale added 13, resulting in a well-rounded offense.
