The Flucos got off to a slow start as the Warriors applied an unrelenting defense. Junior guard Ameyah Agee scored Fluco\u2019s only points of the quarter on a twisting drive to the basket. Western Albemarle led 11-2 at the end of the first quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second quarter, the Flucos managed seven points, with junior Azalya Miles recording five on a basket and three free throws. The Warriors scored 19 points in the quarter to take a commanding 30-9 lead at halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third quarter proved disastrous for the Flucos, who were outscored 18-0, making the score 48-9 after three quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fluvanna scored six points in the final quarter. Miles scored a basket off a steal, while two freshmen also added baskets. Peyton Baber scored on a lay-in, and Sydney Gentry finished a fast break. The final score was Western Albemarle 62, Fluvanna 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the game, Coach Josh McElhaney acknowledged that the Warriors\u2019 intense defense was simply too much for his team to handle. As previously reported, the Flucos are a young squad, with only one senior on the roster and an all-underclassmen starting lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two days later, the script flipped. The Flucos traveled to Goochland County and cruised past the Bulldogs, 63-27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fluco girls hosted Charlottesville High on Jan. 13, play at Monticello High on Jan. 15, and host Monticello on Jan. 16.
