Webb Middle boys downed

Huntland Middle defended its home hardwood by handing Webb Middle a 30-22 loss Monday night.

The Hornets (1-0) jumped out in front by outscoring their foes 11-0 in the first quarter and extended that lead to 15-3 by halftime behind Kiel Graham's 10 points.

"We were able to compete tonight, but we are out of sync offensively," Webb coach James Garcia said. "We turned the ball over too much in the first half and dug ourselves a big hole. They put a lot of effort in coming back, and I was proud of that. We just need to keep working to become the team I think we can be."

The Feet (0-3) rallied to outscore their hosts 13-4 in the third quarter by cranking up the defensive pressure, but it wouldn't be enough with Huntland making its free throws down the stretch.

Tanner McGill also tallied 10 points for the Hornets.

Ben Morris paced the Feet with seven points.

Webb heads to Moore County on Thursday.
