Chapel Hill 77, Cardinal Gibbons 54
RALEIGH — Chapel Hill took sole possession of first place in the Carolina 6 3-A Conference with a rout of Cardinal Gibbons on the road.

Any thoughts of the Crusaders completing the comeback were quashed in a 23-12 Chapel Hill third quarter and the rout was on.
Four Chapel Hill players scored in double figures, led by Jamella Smith, who had a game-high 20 points to go with a team-high seven rebounds and four assists.
