Anderson County High’s Caitlyn Foltz and Brayden Wheat had a night for the ages Tuesday.

Anderson County kept up the pressure from the outset, racing to a 41-1 lead at the break.

She hit six treys in the third quarter alone as the margin swelled to 68-5, and two more in the final eight minutes to wind up with 39 points.
