WILLIAMSBURG — Whitley County’s was needing a win in a big way, and got just that during Saturday’s matchup with Cordia.
The Colonels turned in one of their best defensive effort of the season during their 93-24 victory.
Whitley County’s 69-point victory snapped its three-game losing skid after games against Madison Central, Corbin and South Laurel.
Eric Swords’ squad will attempt to make noise in 50th District play this week with South Laurel and Whitley County.
“Great day to celebrate our two seniors, Javon (Rider) and (Aaron) Rowe,” Swords said. “They are both great kids and hard workers. Blessed to be able to coach those guys, and their work ethics will take them far in life. Was great to have everyone score, as all our guys put a lot of time in. We have had some of our best practices of the year lately so we have to carry that mindset, effort unselfishness and execution into district play next week.”
Thirteen players scored in the win over Whitley County as Henry Bowling scored 16 points while Bryson Mahan added 13 points. Javon Wilder also scored in double figures with 10 points. Riley Fuson and Tucker Hale each added nine points apiece.
