North Surry improved to 17-1 and a perfect 11-0 in the Northwest Conference.
South Stokes (12-6, 4-6 in the Northwest) has won six of seven since Christmas, but couldn’t score in the first half against the tall front line of the Hounds.
South’s Hannah Wood has had some good scoring games this season, so Coach Shane Slate said he wanted his defense to stay out and not let her have any open looks.
Point guard Kelli Mounce is a threat to shoot outside or drive the lane and can be a handful, Slate admitted. The Hounds held Mounce to 10 points and Wood to just two.
