Danville,
The Westover Christian Academy JV Boys Basketball team took to the floor Tuesday evening, albeit later than expected, against the Bishops of Virginia Episcopal School. The squad the Bulldogs faced was actually VES's Varsity B team made up of 11th and 12th graders. The Bulldogs fell behind early on a backdoor layup 2-0 before going on a scoring barrage of their own to the tune of 14-0 to build their 12 point advantage. The Bishops scored again before Neal Talbott hit a shot at the quarter buzzer to put Westover ahead 16-5 after one quarter. The Bulldogs would use their superior depth to their advantage throughout the contest subbing frequently while keeping the Bishops off balance.
The 2nd quarter would see WCA run beautiful halfcourt offense which resulted in backdoor layups from Aaron Salmon and Blake Barber, while another set saw Conner White make a sweet drive to the bucket for 2 more points. The two teams would head into halftime with the Bishops down 29-13. Second half action would be very similar to the first half with Westover controlling action throughout and rotating players often. WCA was led in scoring by Isaac Von Eime who had 15 points. Aaron Salmon had 7 points while Tyler Hughes and Bailey McDowell each had 5. Blake Barber and Dallas Wheeler both had 4 while Ashton Bettendorf had 3. Conner White and Neal Talbott chipped in with 2 apiece. With the win WCA improves to 7-1 on the season. We are not back in action until next Tuesday when we take on SVHS at home.
Practice tomorrow 3-4:30

Danville,
The Westover Christian Academy JV Boys Basketball team was back in action, for the first game out of Christmas break, to take on the Grizzlies of Clover Garden School in a non conference game Monday evening. The Bulldogs won the opening tip, but failed to score on their first possession and then promptly rotated too slowly on defense and gave up a corner 3 to give Clover Garden an early 3-0 lead. This would, however, prove to be the Grizzlies only lead of the game as Westover went on a 13-1 run to close the quarter up 13-4. The Bulldogs were sparked by their full court defense which Clover Garden struggled with throughout the first half. WCA was able to force the Grizzlies into numerous turnovers leading to some transition opportunities.
The 2nd quarter would witness the Bulldogs stretch their lead out to 15 by halftime at 24-9. The third quarter would be the best for Westover as they outscored their opponents 15-8 and ended the frame up 22 at 39-17. The beginning of the 4th period saw WCA stretch out their lead to 25 points at 48-23 before the Grizzlies scored the final 10 points of the game. The Bulldogs had their best shooting game of the season from behind the arc going an outstanding 8-17 for 47%. WCA was led in scoring by Isaac VonEime who had 13 points, 4 deflections and 2 steals. Ashton Bettendorf had 9 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks, while Blake Barber came off the bench to score 9 points. Luke Barber and Tyler Hughes both had 6 points on 2 made 3's apiece. Dallas Wheeler had 5 points. With the win WCA improves to 5-1 on the season. We are back in action Friday night on the road at 5pm against the Tornados of Timberlake Christian. The two teams met back on December 5th with the Bulldogs winning 61-31.
K2 is working on scissor skills today!

WCA Basketball wins 64-26
Danville,
The Westover Christian Academy varsity boys basketball team won itâs fifth game of the season against district opponent Temple from Madison Heights, Virginia. Temple is coached by former WCA coach Jacob Parr. Both teams started the game very cold from a shooting standpoint at the end of the first quarter the score was 6 to 5. Dawson Booth had all six of WCAâs points as he would end up with 10 points on the night along with nine rebounds, one assist and two steals. Westover was also plagued with turnovers in the first half committing nine.
Westover gained some offensive momentum in the second quarter going up on Temple 22 to 16. But could not seem to pull away from the crusaders. Noah Burton and Jezekiah Morris helped spur the second quarter rally Jezekiah scored 6 of his 17 points including connecting on 5-3 point shots. Morris was five for eight from three-point range for the night. He was the leading scorer for the night and he also provided three steals. Noah ended the night with 7 points, 2 blocks and 2 steals.
After some halftime adjustments the Bulldogs began to full-court press. WCA would explode for 30 points in the quarter while holding Temple to just 8. Temple would only score two more points in the fourth quarter as Westover backed out of its full court press but maintained a good solid defense. Closing out the second half on a 42 to 10 run.
WCA got solid performances out of Josh Lewis who had nine points and nine rebounds and threw in a block and a steal as well. Dylan Aron had 10 points and seven assists, one block and two steals to strengthen the WCA attack. Austin Salmon came off the bench to score 4 points. Isaac Motley had four assists that help sparked the third-quarter rally. The Bulldogs only had one turnover in the second half as they continue their unselfish play. Isaac Motley also had five rebounds. Ben Fields was the leading scorer for Temple he had 10 points. Chris Miller also added five points in the fourth quarter for WCA.
5-1 WCA will travel to Chatham to face the Tigers of Hargrave Military Academy on Tuesday at 6:15.

The Westover Christian Academy boys basketball team was back at home tonight for a district contest with the Faith-Hurt Lions. WCA was led by Dylan Aron who had 17 points, 13 of those in the third quarter.
WCA started the game a little shaky on defense but was able to go up 20 to 12 because of very efficient offense. The Bulldogs locked down on defense for quarters number two and three holding the lions to five points in the second quarter to go up at the half 33 to 17.
The Bulldogs continued to clamp down in a man-to-man defense throughout the third-quarter holding the Lions to six points and scoring 22 to put things out of reach. Faith would get hot in the 4th quarter hitting 18 points but WCA was still able to win handily. Final score 71-41 in a complete team victory
Josh Lewis was the second leading scorer for Westover he had 14 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 assists. Jezekiah Morris had 9 points and 4 rebounds. Dawson Booth had 4 points and led the team with 10 rebounds. Chris Miller had 8 points, 2 assists, along with two steals. Senior Captain Austin Salmon had four assists. Noah Burton added 5 points and 4 assists. Aaron Haley had a breakout performance tonight with 9 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists for the junior. Isaac Motley chipped in 2 points and had 2 assists as well. Matt Moore had a three point shot in the fourth quarter. This improves the Bulldogs record to 4-1, 4-0 in VACA. WCA will face another district game Friday night at 8 oâclock against Temple Christian.

Danville,
The Westover Christian Academy JV Boys Basketball team was back in action Thursday evening against the Tornados of Timberlake Christian School and came away with a convincing 61-31 victory. WCA last played two weeks ago on the road against Dayspring Christian and hadn't been able to practice since Monday. The layoff did seem to effect the Bulldogs early with some sloppy passes and unforced errors, however they were able to race out to an early 11-1 lead with high pressure defense in the full court.
Those sloppy passes would enable TCS to hang around into the 2nd quarter before the Bulldogs put the clamps down defensively to go up by 24 points at halftime, 39-15. The Bulldogs started the 3rd quarter in a man-to-man defense and the Tornados managed to bank in 2 three pointers to force the Bulldogs to adjust their defense to eliminate the threat from downtown. The two teams would actually trade baskets throughout the frame and both scored 13 points for a margin of 52-28 heading into the final stanza. All 13 of the Bulldogs players would see game action tonight and 11 of 13 would score with all players contributing. Westover would get up by over 30 points which triggered an automatic running clock for the remainder of the game and the Bulldogs cruised to a 30 point win 61-31.
WCA was led in scoring by Ashton Bettendorf who had 12 points and 6 steals. Luke Barber had 9 points going 3 of 4 from behind the arc, while Blake Barber played awesome coming off the bench to score 8 points, collect 7 steals and draw a charge when we were already up by 25. Tyler Hughes got his first action of the season scoring 7 points, Bailey McDowell had 5 points while Isaac Von Eime, Brayden Bortz, Dallas Wheeler and Matthew Millner all had 4 points apiece. Aaron Salmon and Neal Talbott both chipped in with 2 points. With the win WCA improves to 3-0 (3-0 VACA) on the season.
We are back in action tomorrow night on the road against former VACA foe the Gryphons of New Covenant School at 5:30pm.
The Westover Middle school boys faced off against the Timberlake Christian Tornadoes on Thursday night. The Bulldogs struggled early to get their shots to fall while the Tornadoes took an early lead in the first quarter. Westover continued to fight and closed the gap ending the first half only down by one point with a score of 13-14. Westover came out of halftime and jumped to a three point lead but could not hang for long due to several players being in foul trouble. A hard fought game ultimately ended in Westoverâs first loss of the season with a final score of 29-34. The Bulldogs are now 2-1.
