Draughn unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They were beaten by the Newton-Conover Red Devils 77-35 on Friday. The Wildcats were down 51-27 at the end of the third quarter, and things only got worse from there.
Draughn lost despite a true team effort on offense. The best among them was Titus Dodd, who posted ten points and six boards. Cayden Lewis was another key player, putting up nine points.
Braxton Eckard had an outrageously good game for Newton-Conover as he almost dropped a double-double with 22 points and nine rebounds. The team also got some help courtesy of Bryce Mitchell, who earned eight points in addition to seven assists and five steals.
Draughn has already played their next game, a 76-34 loss against St. Stephens on the 19th. Hopefully Newton-Conover paid attention to the Wildcats' matchup: the next time they hit the field, they'll take on the Wildcats at 7:45 p.m. on the 25th.
