BLACKSVILLE , W.Va. — The Clay-Battelle boys’ basketball team jumped out to a huge lead and never let the game get close in a 63-25 win over Wood County Christian on Tuesday to open the Class A Region I, Section 2 sectional tournament.
“Tonight, we had great teamwork, passing the ball on offense finding the open man and knocking down shots,” C-B head coach Josh Kisner said. “Defensively, we held them to under their average per game and everybody got to play a little bit.”

C-B (13-2) will face the winner of Tyler Consolidated and Doddridge County at 7 p.m. Friday.
