Devils fall to Laney in Scrimmage

The Screaming Devils took to the court Thursday, November 13 for a scrimmage game against the Laney Wildcats in Augusta. Laney proved to be a tough early contest for both Warren County squads.

The night began with the Lady Devils taking the court first. The Devils struggled in the early going. Nothing seemed to fall for the Lady Devils in the early going as Laney took a commanding seventeen point lead into the 2nd quarter. The Lady Devils had more success finding the bucket later in the game, however the Laney held on to win by a score of 68-43.

The boys took to the court for the second game of the evening. The Screaming Devils were playing minus several players that Coach Grant plans to factor into the starting five this season due to football season being extended into the state playoffs. Laney took advantage of the young Warren County squad and jumped out to a dominating lead early on.

Warren County struggled to bring the ball up court against a fast and aggresive Laney press. Laney used the press all night to limit the ability of Warren County to mount much of an offensive attack. Laney won the contest with a final score of 88-31.

Coach Grant stated after the game, "We basically had a J.V. team with a few varsity players playing against a varsity team. We should be better when we get our full squad after football season." The Devils look to benefit from the addition of seniors, Johnathan Lewis and Kentrell Latimore as well as point guard, Tay Erwin.
