By David Rogers. BOONE, N.C. — Colby Whiteside and Aiden Amason poured in 13 and 11 points, respectively, but visiting Providence Academy countered with a whopping seven 3-pointers combined from three different players to lead the Knights past the Watauga District Middle School boys team, 50-44, on Jan. 17 at the Watauga Community Recreation Center.
It was 8th Grade Night as the last home game of the 2022-23 season and the grandstands were packed with parents, grandparents and an assortment of Watauga well-wishers. While the home side kept the score close with persistent defense, allowing Providence to lead by only four points, 26-22, at intermission, the Knights built on their advantage through the second half.
