By David Rogers. BOONE, N.C. — It was a closer game than the final score indicated but Watauga’s men’s basketball team was nonetheless convincingly outdone by A C Reynolds in Lentz Eggers Gym on Dec. 6, 79-58.
ACR’s Declan Brown followed up 11 points in the first half with 16 in the second half to lead the Rockets. His game-high 27 points was bolstered by 18 and 13 from DaShawn Stone and Chase Evans, respectively, to account for most of A C Reynolds’ scoring. The trio hit on nine 3-pointers as the Rockets began to pull away late in the second quarter and built on that lead through the second half with Watauga turnovers and missed shots.
Pioneer guards Maddox Greene and Josiah Railey scored 15 and 14 points, respectively, to lead the Pioneers. Jackson Pryor contributed nine; Wyatt Keller, six; and Wyatt Kohout, five.
Watauga will try to get back to its winning ways on Dec. 9, when the Pioneers host Mountain Heritage (Burnsville, N.C.)
