After opening their season with a lopsided loss at Doddridge County, the Webster County Highlanders boys' basketball team has now ripped off five wins in a row after last night's cakewalk over the hapless Calhoun County Red Devils, winning the road game by a score of 80 to 42.
Webster's competition heats up the next two games.
First, the Highlanders play a make-up game at home against Class AA Braxton County this Saturday (JV 5:45pm, Varsity 7:30pm). Then the Highlanders have their biggest test of the season as they will travel next Tuesday to face undefeated Fayetteville, who is currently ranked fourth in the Associated Press poll for Class A teams. The Pirates have a perfect 6 and 0 record and will likely be 7 and 0 when they face the Highlanders. The Pirates are also rated first in the BasketballNight.com power rankings. The Highlanders are rated ninth in those same power rankings.
