Spartans pull off sweep of Pioneers
Foul trouble proved to be too much for Watauga’s boys’ basketball team to overcome in a 79-72 loss to South Caldwell Friday at Lentz-Eggers Gym. Seth Moore had to settle for eight points, mostly because he missed the second and third quarters because he had three fouls.
