Center Devon Lesesane and Majuan McKoy combined for 16 points to lead Elizabethtown to a 47-27
Bladen Five Middle School Conference boys basketball victory Thursday night over visiting East Arcadia. Lesesane and McKoy finished with 8 points each for the Cougars who raced to an 11-3 first quarter lead.
Elizabethtown padded the lead to 20-11 at halftime and maintained a 31-22 lead at the third quarter break. A 16-5 closing surge by the Cougars put the game away. Elizabethtown’s Anthony Wooten pumped in 7 points, and Keyshawn Riddy followed with 5 points. Jordan Payton added 4 points for the winners.
S. Thomas topped the Panther scoring with 8 points. Teammate B. Bowen tossed in 7 points, and D. Johnson threw in 6 points.
“We aren’t sure where we want to be as a team right now,” said Cougar Coach Tripp Lancaster. “When great defense and teamwork becomes more important than individual stats and scoring, we will be a really good team.”
The Cougars improved to 2-1 in the Bladen Five and will travel to Bladenboro Middle next Thursday.
