WATERTOWN â Neither team was at full strength, but Watertown closed out a 65-62 win over Wilson Central on the power play Saturday afternoon.
Only seven Wildcats were available for the game and three were fouled out, leaving just four on the floor for the final 25.6 seconds as Watertown rallied.
Gavin Clayborne connected on two free throws with 20.6 seconds left to put Watertown in front 63-62 and two more for insurance with 11.8 ticks as the Purple Tigers, playing for the first time in eight days since their first loss of the season, at DeKalb County, before having two rescheduled games canceled during the week due to COVID, improved to 7-1 going into a two-week Wilson County Schools-mandated break from competition.
MT. JULIET â The initial meeting between Wilson Central and host Green Hill was a battle for the first 10 minutes Friday night.
But the Hawks closed the first half with a 19-5 run and the third quarter on a 14-2 spurt to blow out the Wildcats 61-35.
Each team was without a starter. Senior captain Zach Blair missed the game for Green Hill while the Wildcats were without scoring leader Adler Kerr.
âNot having Kerr is a huge deal for them,â Green Hill coach Troy Allen said after his Hawks improved to 2-4 for the season and 2-1 in District 9-AAA. âHeâs a special player.
