The Devils were hot Tuesday night as they completed the trifecta with three wins against Taliaferro County. The boy's JV team and boy's varsity teams took the court at home for the first time since the Christmas break. The Lady Devils came into the night fresh off a Friday night victory over Wilkinson County in a region crossover game. The Lady Devils defeated the Warriors of Wilkinson by a score of 63-44.
The JV game proved to be the closest of the three contests of the evening. The Jaguars managed to keep within four of the Screaming Devils as they ended the first quarter down by the score of 10-6. Jacquez Moss fired up both the Devils and the crowd with a dunk at the end of the first half as the Devils took control in the second period. Warren County took a 25-10 lead into the locker room at the half and never looked back. Taliaferro County scored 24 in the second half, but it would not be enough. The Devils came away with the victory by a score of 49-34. Jacquan Jackson led all scorers for Warren County with 12 points.
The varsity Lady Devils built upon the excitement generated by the first game of the evening. The girl's game was never in doubt as the Lady Devils jumped out to an early lead and controlled the game for the rest of the way. Warren County held the Jaguars to only 4 points the entire first two periods and led 23-4 at the halfway mark. The Lady Devils scored 19 in the third period and went on to win by a score of 53-22 with most of their starters on the bench for the 4th period. Candice Warthen led the way for Warren County with 22 points.
The biggest bright spot of the night for Warren County came in the final game of the evening. The boy's varsity team has been undergoing a rebuilding process under first year head coach, Levon Grant. Tuesday night's performance was evidence that the pieces are beginning to fall into place for the Screaming Devils.
The Devils welcomed two players to the floor for the first time this season in Dominique Menchaca and Darius Jenkins. Both players wasted no time in making their contributions known.
The Devils led 20-13 at the end of the first quarter, but dominated the
game for the rest of the way. Warren County outscored the Jaguars 18-7 in the second period to take a 48-20 lead into the locker room at the half.
The second half was more of the same for the Screaming Devils as Warren County went on to win by a score of 75-44. Dominique Menchaca led all scorers for Warren County with 17. Menchaca was followed closely by Stanley Johnson with 16. Jacquez Moss was also in double digits with 10 points of his own.
While Coach Grant was pleased with the play of his team, he reminded them that they would have to work even harder in the coming days with two big games on the schedule for this weekend. The Devils take on sub-region opponent, Aquinas Friday night before travelling to Hancock to tackle their biggest cross region rival on Saturday night. Everyone is encouraged to come out and support the Screaming Devils.
