Southeast Alamance came tearing into Wednesday's contest with ten straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 41.6 points) and they left with even more momentum. They claimed a resounding 82-23 win over the North Moore Mustangs. Given the Stallions' advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina basketball rankings (they are ranked 38th, while the Mustangs are ranked 470th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Southeast Alamance's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Shaniya Paylor led the charge by dropping a double-double with 17 points and ten assists. The team also got some help courtesy of Rreanna Johnson, who posted 17 points and five steals.

Paylor wasn't the only one working in the assist department: Southeast Alamance was working as a unit and finished the game with 24 assists. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their assist total in four consecutive games.

When it comes to explaining why North Moore lost, don't look at Calissa Clendenin. Despite the final result, she earned 11 points and six rebounds. Clendenin has been hot recently, having also posted two or more steals the last four times she's played.

Southeast Alamance's victory was their tenth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 20-2. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 23.3 points over those games. As for North Moore, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost seven of their last eight matchups, which has put a noticeable dent in their 5-13 record this season.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Southeast Alamance will square off against Cummings at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Southeast Alamance's defense has only allowed 29.7 points per game this season, so Cummings' offense will have their work cut out for them.
