Sweep II

Ashe County's varsity squads swept the Watauga Pioneers for the second time in as many tries. This time at Watauga High School. Shelly Barker(24)(left) had an incredible game for the girls, scoring 14 points a sinking the winning free-throw with just two seconds on the clock to give the Lady Huskies a 51-50 win.

Let me say, as a Husky Fan, I was very pleased with the turnout and support of all the Husky fans and students. I think we easily out-numbered (and out cheered) the home crowd.

Coach Laura Foster led her Lady Huskies back from an 11 point second half defecit.

The men's basketball team overcame a slow start to win 62-55. Three Husky starters had double digit point productions. Tatum Lemly had 13, Daniel Waln put up 12, but both were led once again by Tommy Spagnolo (left) with 19 points.

This is the first year both of Ashe's varsity teams has beaten Watauga's in both meeting in a season. Not bad for a 2-A school.



Watauga head coach Rob Sanders had no answer for Ashe's offensive attack
