It was the second time around for these cross county foes. This time the Cowboys
made the trip over to face off against the Wildcats of Eastern Guilford. The game
was started of very similar to their first matchup going back and forth with the
visiting Cowboys holding a slim 20-19 lead after the first. The second quarter
started with a quick SW 5-0 run to push the lead to 6. The teams traded baskets the
rest of the half to make it 36-30 at the break. In the third, the Cowboys came out
more aggressive and gained the momentum and forced several turnovers pushing the
lead to as many as 14. The Wildcats responded and ended the third with a 4-0 spurt
to make it 54-44. The fourth was a shadow of the fourth as the Cowboys once again
turned up the pressure and got several easy baskets and cruised to a 75-63 victory.
Eastern was once again lead by Brandon Hairston’s 23 points. Southwest was lead by
the steady combo of Terrell Leach and Jordan Hanner’s 25 and 13 points respectively.
The Cowboys remain undefeated at 3-0 on the early season.
