By David Rogers. BOONE, N.C. — With a game-high 20 points, East Alexander Middle School Girls outpointed the Watauga District Girls, 43-16 on Oct. 29 in Lentz Eggers Gym.
It was the Watauga team’s first game of the season after only three practices, so the result was not unexpected against a team with a distinct size advantage.
Led by seventh grader Kate Moore, the Watauga girls were scrappy enough but have not yet developed the “chemistry” to know one another on the court nor the team passing skills necessary to overcome a size advantage. Moore recorded a team-high seven points.
