WILLIAMSBURG — After posting a 2-0 mark earlier in the week in Indiana, Whitley County traveled back home, and picked up a nice win on Friday.
The Colonels improved to 9-1 thanks to an easy, 80-48, victory over Belfry.
“Great to get another win before the break,” Whitley County coach Eric Swords said. “We are doing a great job of moving the basketball. We got off to a slow start in the first quarter, ball movement wasn’t great and we were stagnant. I thought from the 2nd quarter on that is some of the best basketball we have played offensively and defensively.
“Guys will get a much earned break, we just have to keep growing, trusting and loving each other,” he added. “At any point it can’t be you, it’s always got to be about the Colonels. If we continue that this group has a chance to be special.”
Whitley County jumped out early against the Pirates, and continued to dominate throughout the contest.
The Colonels are winners of nine straight after opening the season with a home loss to Wayne County.
They’ll be back in action next week, hosting the Borderline Classic. Whitley County’s first contest will be against South Doyle, Tenn. on Wednesday, Dec. 27.
