The culture of Weddington boys basketball is centered on dominating in the months of February and March.

Just before the start of February, the Warriors defeated conference opponent Monroe with a final score of 69-44, bringing their overall record to 18-1.

During the first quarter, four players contributed to Weddington’s lead with a total of five three-point shots. Grant Hamilton led the charge with 7 out of his 14 points, giving the team a 21-12 advantage.

KJ Younger, the top scorer on the team, also performed well in the second half, scoring 10 points out of his total of 22. The skilled junior player made an impressive left-handed dunk during a fast break, and finished off the half with back-to-back three-point plays inside the paint.

The Warriors entered halftime with a 39-18 advantage and increased their lead from 21 to 32 points after eight minutes.

Aidan Cook made a personal record of five three-point shots in the game and ended with a total of 17 points.

In the second half, seven Weddington players contributed to the score, with Tyler Cain leading the Warriors with 4 points in the fourth quarter.

Kaegan Chambers and Bryson Simpkins each scored 10 points to lead Monroe.
