PRESTON, GA – The Schley County High School varsity boys basketball team (SCHS) went on a 16-0 run to start the game and continued to dominate the game from then on out en route to a lopsided 67 – 28 rout of the Webster County Bobcats (WCH) Tuesday evening, December 5, at Webster County High School.

Jalen Solomon led the Wildcats in scoring with 18 points and Jordan Hudson poured in 12. A.J. Myrick very nearly cracked the double digit scoring column, as he chipped in nine points in the winning cause.

The Wildcats quickly went on a 16-0 run to start the game and it was capped off by a basket from Solomon. They used their full-court press to create turnovers and were able to turn those turnovers into points against a WCH team that was struggling to score. This continued through the remainder of the first half and by halftime, SCHS had a 46-12 lead.

Solomon led the Wildcats in the first half with 11 of his 18 points.

In the second half, the Wildcats picked up where they left off by going on an 8-0 run. They continued to use their defense to force turnovers, while the Bobcats continued to struggle scoring. As a result, the Wildcats cruised to a 67 – 28 victory.

The Wildcats (1-0) will be in action on Friday, December 8, against the Furlow Charter Falcons at the Storm Dome on the campus of Georgia Southwestern State University. Tip off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
