BRUSHFORK — The outcome was never in doubt on Senior Night as Bluefield opened with a 23-0 run and outscored Summers County 90-20 Wednesday night at the Brushfork Armory.
With D.J.Edwards scoring 10 first quarter points, the Beavers led the Bobcats 33-5 after one period. With standout senior T.J. Smith sidelined by injury, Summers County had difficulty getting things going throughout the evening. Bluefield, relying almost exclusively on its second unit, stretched its advantage to 52-8 at halftime.
With the subs playing exclusively in the third quarter, the Beavers led 73-11 after three. Finally when the dust settled the Bluefield had comfortably won their 12th in a row and pushed their record to 19-2.
Jordan Huckleberry led a balanced Bluefield attack with 18. Azir Price added 15, Edwards scored 14 and Matt Woodrum totaled 11.
Summers County was paced by Matt Ryan with seven.
On Senior Night, Bluefield’s Anthony Eades and Lykel Collier were recognized for career milestones they set a week ago. Collier is Bluefield’s all-time leader in games played and Eades is Bluefield’s career leading scorer.
The Beavers return to action Tuesday in the Region III, Section 2 semifinals, facing the winner of the James Monroe-Mount View game at Princeton Senior High School.
