| Timeout during the Braxton game on January 7, 2017. |
After building up an impressive 47 to 27 halftime lead, the Webster County Highlanders boys' basketball team fought off several comeback attempts by the visiting Braxton County Eagles to win Saturday night 76 to 68.
Braxton put a scare into Webster in the third quarter, outscoring the Highlanders to 23 to 11 to close to 58 to 50 at the end of three quarters of play. At least twice during the second half, the Eagles cut the lead to a mere 6 points. Defensive hustle by Dorian Groggs and Mathias Palmer put a stop to Braxton's thoughts of winning. Groggs led all scorers with 20 plus points.
The Webster boys' JV team keeps winning, this time in a rout over the Braxton JV team. Most impressive during the JV game was the play of Cody Lowther. He and his teammates are making a statement that they will be a force to be reckoned with in the ensuing years.
