After opening the GISA Region 3-
AAA schedule with losses at Deerfield-
Windsor Tuesday, Westfield’s basketball
squads held serve on the home courts
Friday with a sweep
of another region rival,
Southland Academy.
The Hornets of
coach Jake Walls over
came foul trouble from
their two top scorers
to defeat the Raiders
60-54. Walls said Matt
Amrit and John Peake
each picked up two
quick personals, so he
had to bench them for
the remainder of the
first half, and at the

time they sat down Southland led 14-6.
But in the second quarter, using a
smaller lineup, Westfield went on a run
that gave them the halftime advantage.
Riley Sims and Casey Young led the
defensive charge while James Wurster,
a freshman, had 15 of his 19 points.
Walls said that was a big confidence
boost for his squad, and it carried over
into the second half.
Peake would score 10 points in the
winning effort.
Jeff Eubanks’ Lady Hornets topped
the Southland girls 49-41. They had a
27-22 lead at halftime, but Southland
pulled even going into the fourth quar
ter at 35-35.
Hanna Jones scored 23 points, Mallory
Eubanks 10 and Mason Moreland nine.

Head coach Jody Dean made
some recent lineup changes for
his Houston Bears with defense in
mind. What he got from a pair of
new starters was plenty of offense

test with the Colquitt Packers.
Brandon Scott had a team-high
13 points and Donte Williams hit
three long jumpers in a nine-point
performance.

rival Northside High bat
tling back from 15 points
down at halftime to take
a 61-52 win, only the fifth
victory all year for Kevin
Smith’s Eagles.
Two of Northside’s top
starters, James Hagan
and Kenya Ward, didn’t
participate in the scoring
for the opening period.
Both would wind up on
top of the points list in the
end as Ward led everyone
with 16 and Hagan was
close behind with 15.
Warner Robins’ leading
scorer, Kenny Fluellen,
had 15 points, but was
quiet in the second half
with just four. Jordan
Sanders, senior forward,
notched 12 points.
Led by young guard
Johnny Enos, the home
Demons put on a shooting
show in the first quar
ter. A Sanders offensive
rebound basket came at
1:50, and a finger-roll
from Jared Fluellen out
of a patient set ended the
quarter at 16-6.
