RALEIGH - Athens Drive’s Dylan Haupt had 20 points at halftime.

Haupt scored in a variety of ways, from driving to the basket to having jumps shots go off the backboard to knocking down 3-pointers in transition. His Jaguars were up by as many as 13 points against non-conference foe Broughton and led 38-29 at the break.

But as has been a familiar tale with the Jags this year, Athens Drive ran out of gas.

Broughton (6-4) held Haupt to two points in the second half, and that was a big reason why the Caps prevailed 69-55.

The Caps started the third quarter in a full-court press, which made it difficult for Athens Drive’s guards to get the ball to Haupt. Broughton caught Athens Drive (4-7) with a 16-3 run in the third quarter.

“I think we just started having fun,” Broughton’s Devonte Graham said. “Everything just came to us.”
