Webster scored an impressive 33 points in the first quarter and never relinquished the lead. With the win, Webster improved to 12 wins, 7 losses on the season and vastly improved their chances to host a home playoff game.
According to Assistant Coach Eddie Mazzella, Webster will host Greenbrier West next Tuesday, February 14, and will host Williamstown next Thursday, February 16. Because the Highlanders did not place in the top two in the LKC conference, they will not be playing next Saturday at the WACO Center in Glenville for the LKC championship, although Webster will have two players competing in the three point shootout at the WACO. Williamstown sports an 11 win, 8 loss record. As far as common opponents go, Williamstown, like Webster, beat Calhoun County and lost to Fayetteville. Webster will then play on February 22 at Richwood to finish the regular season.
On another positive note for Webster, the JV team keeps rolling along with their perfect season, which now stands at 17 wins, 0 losses, after defeating the Roane County JV team this evening.
