The Warner Robins basketball teams hosted long time county rival Northside earlier this afternoon and tonight and the result was a Demons’ sweep.

The host took all of their starters out and their younger players racked up the points as Warner Robins outscored Northside 27-5 in the fourth quarter to win 78-31 to sweep the season series against the Lady Eagles.

The host got up to a 16 pt in the second and the gap would be trimmed a little by the end of the first half with Warner Robins up 52-39.
The Eagles came out firing in the third quarter as they would trim away at the deficit and take the lead late in the frame after outscoring the Demons 31-14 which is probably the most pts the Blue, White, and Orange have scored in a quarter in quite some time to take a 70-66 lead going into the fourth quarter.
