Fox Creek High School's basketball fans got a double dose of high drama Friday evening against Hunter-Kinard-Tyler, with a pair of close Region 4-A games at Sweetwater Baptist Church.

Fox Creek's girls improved their record to 5-6 overall and 4-5 in the region.

The boys, meanwhile, continued to struggle in region action. They fell behind 12-0 in the opening minutes but charged back to hold a 27-26 lead at the half, en route to a 73-64 loss.

The Predators' Quadre Castleberry dominated in scoring, pumping in 32 points. Joining him in double digits were D.J. Curry, at 14; and Deondre Baskett, at 10.

Fox Creek's next challenge was to have been Tuesday action at home against Wagener-Salley, starting the second half of the region schedule.
