Webster County had four players score in double figures — and just missed a fifth — while defeating Caldwell County 78-61 Saturday on Homecoming night in Dixon.
The Trojans’ balanced offensive effort more than offset a big game by Caldwell sophomore JayDarius Wilson, who poured in 24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.
Webster (9-9) never trailed, but Caldwell (4-13) was within seven points, 35-28, early in the second half.
However, each time it looked like the Tigers might make a move to make it a game, the Trojans buried a couple of shots to hold Caldwell at bay.
Evan Michalek had 20 points to pace Webster while Micah Austin added 16, Deshawn Murphy 15 and Markus Austin 11. Jarvis Starks-Scott almost gave the Trojans another double-figure scorer, but finished with nine points.
Caldwell got 10 points apiece from Carter Whittington and Demaurius Thompson in addition to the big night from Wilson.
The Tigers are now off until Friday, when they host Madisonville-North Hopkins for Homecoming.
