Tate lights it up for Watauga JVs in second half, en route to 77-62 win @ Alexander Central

By David Rogers. TAYLORSVILLE, N.C. — Although the host Alexander Central men’s junior varsity team led Watauga 30-29 at halftime, six 3-pointers by the Pioneers’ Mason Tate in the second half broke things open to help lead the visitors to a convincing, 77-62 win on Jan. 14.

Tate’s game-high 26 points, including eight treys from behind the arc, was joined by 19 points from teammate Cole Lewis. The starting guard not only made five 3-pointers of his own, but was also a perfect 4-for-4 from the free throw line.

In fact, Watauga had three players without a miss from the charity stripe, including Lewis, Lucas Cash (2-for-2) and Caleb Ogden (3-for-3).

Watauga’s scoring came from nine different players, led by Tate and Lewis as the only ones in double figures.

Now 7-2 on the season, Watauga faces Hibriten on Jan. 17 at Lentz Eggers Gym, at home.
