Charlotte High School boys’ junior varsity basketball coach Mike Williams was true to his words when his team took on the Port Charlotte High School Pirates on Jan. 18.
“Like I told them when we lost there (at Port Charlotte), we wanted them back here and undefeated, and that’s what we got. Now they aren’t undefeated anymore. I’m excited.”
