The Battling Bishops of North Carolina Wesleyan were home for single games on both Saturday and Sunday. They won both Saturday beat Piedmont 77-69 and on Sunday took down William Peace 73-68.
Saturday three players carried the load as Brandon Brown tossed in 22 and pulled down 9 rebounds and received help from Adrian Moore with 19 points and D J Weaver aided with 16.
Sunday Adrian Moore capped off a fine weekend by leading the Battling Bishops scoring 20 points. Shannon Huff added 16 and the only other double digit scorer was Devontae Williams with 10. Brandon Brown had double digit rebounds pulling down 10 boards.
The two wins give the Battling Bishops six wins in conference play with only two losses. That is good for a tie for second in Conference USAA. Huntingdon is in first without a conference loss to date.
The girls played two games over the weekend but both were on the road. Saturday the Lady Bishops knocked off Mary Baldwin 89-56 while on Sunday they stopped in Raleigh where they were knocked down by William Peace 57- 69.
The victory on Saturday produced three double digits scorers. Jermaiyah Baker led the way with 19. Dijah Davis produced 12 and Nash Central's Timyra Staton added 10. Only two Lady Bishops wrangled double digits Sunday during their lost at William Peace with Kechae Parker dropping 17 and Nadiya Hollley 13.
The Lady Bishops are 8-11 overall and 5-5 in Conference USAS.
The football championships this past December were the last events that former assistant commissioner of The NCHSAA Rick Strunk participated in.. Rick's main job on any championship day was make sure all media credentials were in order. His retirement has brought on former Capitol Broadcasting Sports reporter James Alverson to replace Strunk. If you heard any of the high school football games of the week on 99.9 The Fan, James is the play by play man. Good luck James.
