14 February 2008 — The momentum of senior night wasn’t enough to secure a win for the Aycock boys, who fell to Hunt 81-58 on Friday night.
The Warriors came out of the gate with the clear intention of holding the Falcons down. They racked up 21 points in the first quarter, while the Falcons managed to only post five points. The Falcon boys tried to catch up in before the half, earning 21 points to Hunt’s 19, but couldn’t bridge the gap created in the first quarter of the game.
Hunt boosted their lead again in the third period, and maintained their winning lead in the final period, ousting the Falcons 41-32 in the second half, seizing their 23-point victory.

But the Warriors again seized the lead and increased their margin in the final period, earning a whopping 37 points while the Falcons only got 11 more on the board. Eastern Wayne earned the win with a 79-36 lead.
