Figured I’d have a running thread on Burke County basketball for the season. Tonight I went to the FHS games vs Patton. The Lady Patriots rolled over the Lady Panthers 60-12 and looked a lot better than I expected. Payton Caldwell and Sidney Demiter had big games for Freedom. The boys game was a nail biter with Freedom pulling out a 45-44 win after a clutch three in the last 30 seconds from Dyson Dellinger. The Patton boys remain winless all time against their cross town rivals, but this one was very close.
