Middle School Basketball Season Underway

The Warren County Middle School basketball season is in full swing. The Screaming Devils took to the court Monday for their second game in three days as they took on Louisville Middle School. Both the boys and girls saw action. Warren County came away with a split in the evening contests.

The Lady Devils, fresh off a fine performance Saturday against Washington-Wilkes, took the floor first. They quickly jumped off to an early lead as they ended the first quarter ahead 11-2.

The Lady Devils held Louisville scoreless in the second while almost doubling their own point total and carried a 20-2 lead into the locker room at the half. Louisville managed to get their offense going in the second half, but it simply wasn't enough. Warren County held on to get the victory by a score of 33-16, running their record to 2-0 for the season. Leading scorers for the Devils were Tyjah Hill with 12 points followed closely by Tomeka Harris with 10 points.

The boy's squad followed the girls for the second game of the evening against Louisville. The Screaming Devils were looking for their first win of the season after losing by only two to Washington-Wilkes on Saturday.

Warren County dug an early hole for themselves when they fell behind by a score of 4-14 in the first quarter. The Devils managed to close the gap somewhat in the second quarter and went to the locker room down 11-16 at the half.

Warren County came out of the locker room playing aggresive defense by swarming to the ball. Louisville was able to beat the Devils to the boards, however, and out-rebounded Warren County to extend their lead to 11 at the end of the third quarter.

Louisville pulled away in the fourth and went on to defeat the Screaming Devils by a score of 38-21. Rashawn Harris lead all scorers for Warren County with 9 points.

The middle school takes to the road again Thursday as they travel to Thomson take on the Thomson Middle School Bulldogs.
