Long distance salvos in Q2 power Watauga WBB junior varsity to 35-24 win over Hibriten

By David Rogers. BOONE, N.C. — Leveraging a trio of 3-pointers by three different players in the second quarter to gain early separation, Watauga’s WBB junior varsity capitalized with pesky defense and opportunistic play in the second half to defeat visiting Hibriten on Jan. 17, 35-24, in Lentz Eggers Gym.
