WCMS boys cream DeKalb Middle
Warren County Middle’s eighth-grade boys crashed the boards, and dashed DeKalb Middle’s hopes of a victory Thursday afternoon in front of the WCMS student body.
In a rare afternoon contest, the Pioneers got a triple-double from Justin Bouldin on their way to a lopsided 62-23 victory over the Saints.
Bouldin finished with 12 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists — as well as four steals — for the Pioneers, who jumped out to a 17-2 lead by the end of the first quarter. DeKalb County found its rhythm offensively in the second, matching the Pioneers’ 11 points with 11 of their own to trail 28-13 at the break.
Grabbing 37 team rebounds in the game, the Pioneers used their dominance on the boards to dominate the second half, out-scoring their guests 22-9 in the third quarter and 12-1 in the fourth to seal the victory.
In addition to Bouldin’s big night, the Pioneers got 13 points and four boards from Chris Weitzel, while Kyle Mullican posted 11 points, five assists and four rebounds.
Josh Moore had nine points, while Lane McCoy netted seven and Trea Miller had four. Tyrel Nunley, Ryan Williams and Donta Weir had two points each, while Weir added four rebounds.
DeKalb County was led by Bray Page, who scored seven points.
With the win, the Pioneers improved to 7-2 on the season.
