Fountain paces Purple to win

HENDERSONVILLE — Watertown's boys used a Fountain of offense and defense to handle Hendersonville Christian 42-25 Monday night.
Junior point guard Aaron Fountain totaled 10 points (including a pair of three-pointers), eight assists, five steals, five rebounds and just two turnovers to pace the Purple Tigers to their triumph in four outings.
"Aaron had an overall good night," Watertown assistant coach T.J. Hewitt said. "This was probably his best night as far as running the offense.
"He makes all of the offensive calls and adjustments and defensive calls and adjustments."
The Tigers, who suffered a 30-point Senior Night setback to the Crusaders last February, pounced to a 12-7 first-quarter lead and were up 23-12 going into halftime. Watertown used a 10-4 third quarter to put the hosts away.
Justin Breece and Ben Smith scored seven points apiece for the Purple while Victor Loza finished with five, Levi Tschaekofske four, Dalton Phillips three and Jonathan Harrison, James Shrum and Zack Neal two apiece.
"It was a good team effort," Hewitt said.
The Tigers will open their District 8-A schedule tonight when Westmoreland visits Watertown.
