LYNCHBURG, Tenn. — Ten different Moore County Raiders scored Monday night as the Raiders rolled past Huntland 61-5 at home.

The defense made sure the outcome was never in doubt. Huntland made just two field goals all game, and one player accounted for all five of its points. After halftime, Huntland managed only a single free throw.

Over their last four games, against Fayetteville City, West, Liberty and Huntland, the Raiders have allowed a combined 52 points.

Moore County set the tone early, scoring 26 points in the first period to take a 26-2 lead. Five players scored in that period, led by Max Dickey with 10 and Kurt Smith with seven. The Raiders led 38-4 at halftime and 53-5 after three.

The scoring was spread across the roster, and so were the 3-pointers. The Raiders hit five of them, each by a different player: Grayson Hill, Smith and Dickey in the first half, then Colton Alford and Sawyer Boyce in the third period.

The bench closed it out. Brady Hall, Lane Millaway, and Harrison Norman scored all eight of Moore County’s fourth-period points, with Norman hitting two baskets. Hall’s basket was his first in the Raiders’ last five games.

Dickey finished with 17 points and Hill added a season-best 11, including six in the second period. Smith scored nine, Alford and Boyce had five each, and Brantly Chapin and Norman each added four. Hall, Millaway, and Laken Wade scored two apiece.

The Raiders won’t play again this week. Instead, teh JV team will play two home games next week — against South Lincoln next Monday and against Fayetteville City next Thursday. They will return to regular action on November 12 at Cascade. •
