Curry was obviously good enough to play varsity ball when he was a freshman, but Charlotte Christian School coach Shonn Brown had other plans. “We wanted him to run the JV so that going into the next year, he would be ready,’’ Brown said. “It would make the transition easier, so he could develop the confidence to lead the group. … We talked a lot about the legacy he would leave for Charlotte Christian. We talked about what it was like to be a man. We call it salvation and sacrifice. Now you look at how he sacrifices for the Warriors, how he manages his home life.” Curry responded by leading the varsity to three conference titles in three years.
