The Escambia County High School Blue Devils won two of their three games last week, beating Clarke County and Monroe County at home, but losing to Baldwin County on the road.

ECHS (3-4) earned a 76-66 win over Clarke County on Tuesday, Nov. 18, and followed that up with a 46-42 win over Monroe County on Friday night. The Blue Devils fell at Baldwin County, 61-55, on Saturday evening.

“The season is going well, even though we have competed against strong teams from Class 5A, 6A and 7A schools,” first-year ECHS coach Terrence Walker said. “We are making the shift from an athletic focus to one of academic discipline first. Our players are showing more maturity on the court and in the classroom.”

Jerome Webster led the Blue Devils with 21 points against Baldwin County, followed by Anthony Fountain with 11 and Malik McMillan with eight. Webster also led ECHS in the win against Monroe County, finishing with a team-high 17 points. Fountain added 10.

Against Clarke County, ECHS broke out to an early 8-0 lead and was ahead 43-33 at halftime. The Bulldogs cut the lead down to five points in the fourth quarter, but ECHS made some baskets to pull away late.

Fountain led the Blue Devils with 19 points, and Devon Robinson added 16. Webster finished with 13 points, and Dexter Williams chipped in with 12.
