SPENCER — North Rowan’s boys made a dozen 3-pointers on Thursday and crushed East Davidson 72-42 for a Central Carolina Conference win.

The game was moved up a day due to Friday night’s weather forecast.

North (12-3, 5-3) stopped a two-game skid with few issues. The Cavaliers led 18-8 after a quarter and expanded their lead to 36-22 at halftime.

North got scoring from 12 players and overmatched an East Davidson team that is still looking for its first win.

North won 83-42 in the first meeting with the Golden Eagles and has won its last 10 against East Davidson. The last time East Davidson beat the Cavaliers was in the 2008-09 season.

For the Golden Eagles (0-17, 0-7), Brogan Hill scored 19 and Badin Gusa had 16.
