WCMS Boys and Girls Win Season Opener



Both Warren County Middle School basketball teams traveled to Gibson to take on the Glascock County Panthers for their first games of the season Thursday afternoon.  The games marked the fourth games of the 2011 season for Glascock.

The girls took to the court first for the Screaming Devils.  It looked as if Warren County would run away with the game in the early going as the Lady Devils jumped out to an early 9-0 lead.  Glascock would battle back, however, and keep within striking distance all the way to the fourth quarter.  The Lady Devils were never able to put the Panthers away and had to fend off a late rally to win by the score of 24-22.

The boy's game was never really in doubt for the Screaming Devils.  The Panthers took a brief lead in the opening seconds of the game by hitting a 3 point shot, but the Devils quickly answered and never relinquished the lead after that.  Warren County cruised to a 45-19 point victory in the second game of the evening.

Warren County Middle School returns to action Saturday when they play host to Washington-Wilkes.  Tip-off for the girl's game is scheduled for 10:00 am.
