By David Rogers. BOONE, N.C. — After Isaiah Shreve knocked down four 3-pointers in the first half — three in the opening minutes of the first quarter — and East Carolina could not respond, the Watauga District middles school boys team seemed bound to run away with this Oct. 29 season opener.

Shreve poured in a game-high 14 points in the Wolverines’ dominating, 41-9 win, with teammate Jaden McInnis’ 12 points close behind. Where Shreve mostly worked the perimeter, McInnis put up most of his numbers inside the paint.
McInnis combined with fellow forward Nathan Koontz to dominate inside play with a distinct size advantage vs. the Falcons. For the most part, the duo controlled the boards.
