CREEDMOOR -- Wayne Country Day erupted for 62 second-half points and rolled past Dominion (Va.) High School, 95-68, on day three of the South Granville Holiday Invitational.

Victor Miller pumped in a career-high 23 points for the Chargers, who concluded 2013 with a 13-5 worksheet. All-tournament selection Lee Atkinson knocked down a season-high 28 points and dished out seven assists.

Joel Davis logged a double-double -- 15 points, 10 rebounds. Marlon Coley pulled down seven rebounds.

"(Our) defensive intensity was key in wearing their guards down and forcing many (second-half) turnovers," said first-year WCDS head coach David Flowers, whose team trailed 41-33 at halftime.

Shahim Muhammed tallied a career-high 20 points and grabbed six rebounds in Wayne Country Day's semifinal-round, 93-80 loss to Village Christian on Friday. Atkinson contributed 19 points and six assists.

Davis and Jamal Forde supplied 15 and 10 points, respectively. Coley snared nine rebounds.
