In girls action, Crosby scored a game-high 30 points, including 6 treys, to power the Lady Cobras to a 58-30 victory over the Lady Jackets. She also had 3 steals.
Wesson travels to Natchez Cathedral Tuesday for three games. The junior varsity girls play at 5 p.m. followed by the varsity girls at 6 and the varsity boys to follow.
Wesson 81, Enterprise 43
Wesson (1-2) came out hot in the first quarter, taking a 21-10 lead over Enterprise (0-2). At the half, the Cobras maintained a 23-point, 44-21, lead.
"The kids worked hard tonight," said Wesson boys coach Ron Kessler after the win. "We played good defense. We ran the floor real well."
Contributing to the Wesson win with 15 points and 10 rebounds was Lonnie Reeves. Josh Hood pulled down 7 rebounds. Making 6 steals and 5 assists was Cody King.
"We are really young, mostly sophomores," said Enterprise boys coach Josh Bass. "We are not executing real good. Wesson shot the ball well from the outside. Coach Kessler is doing a good job with them."
Jeremy Smith paced the Jackets with 11 points. Jamie Smith followed with 10 points.
"Coach Bass' kids hustled from the tipoff to the end," added Kessler. "Enterprise caught us sleeping a few times."
Wesson 58, Enterprise 30

"We really shot the ball well coming out of the gate," said first-year Wesson girls coach Hugh Webb. "I was pleased with our performance tonight. Our girls are making progress. We don't need to peak too early."
Following Crosby with 11 points and 7 rebounds was Ann Shelby Davis. Perry Katherine Furr and Hannah Hill netted 7 points apiece.
"We're a young team, but we're not using that as an excuse," said Enterprise girls coach Jill Nations. "Wesson's outside shooting is good."
