They strolled past the Devil Pups with points to spare, taking the game 73-54. Given the Panthers' advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina basketball rankings (they are ranked 86th, while the Devil Pups are ranked 238th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Voyager Academy is on a roll lately: they've won 16 of their last 17 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 23-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 77.2 points over those games. Washington County pushed their record up to 21-3 with the win, which was their 12th straight at home.
