By David Rogers. BOONE, N.C. — A battle between the Watauga middle school league’s No. 1 and of the No. 2 girls teams turned out to be a defensive battle on Dec. 1. Parkway found its way past a scrappy Blowing Rock side, 16-10.
It was the last home game of the season for the host Patriots and they played like… well, like they were playing for something, including the defense of their first place position in the Watauga County middle school league standings.
A trio of Patriots shared team-high and game-high honors in scoring with four points each, including Cali Townsend, Dylan Buckwalter, and Brynn Slagle. Caroline Childers and Mary Flynn Sevensky each contributed a bucket, too.
