The visiting Raiders of Liberty-Raleigh would rather forget tonight's anemic performance against the home-standing Highlanders as Webster won in a rout 81-60.
Although the rout was on for most of the game, four minutes into the fray, the Highlanders managed a meager 3 points, and trailed 9 to 3. Webster then woke up and utilized their signature press defense to force countless turnovers and outscored the Raiders 39 to 14 to take a 42 to 23 lead into halftime. A sparse crowd watched more of the same in the third quarter as Webster increased its lead to 66 to 37 and then coasted to the win. With the win, Webster improved to 9 wins, 7 losses on the season.
Dalton Gray scored 27 points, grabbed 8 rebounds, dished out 6 assists, and had 9 steals to lead the Highlanders. Dorian Groggs added 18 points in the win. With the loss, the hapless Raiders kept their perfect winless record intact at 0 and 14.
Webster next plays at Braxton County Thursday, February 2.
The Highlander JV team won again this evening, keeping their perfect record intact.
