ATHENS, WV (WOAY) – Both Concord basketball teams were winners over West Virginia Wesleyan Wednesday to improve to 2-1 on the season.
The Lady Lions overcame a first-half deficit to win 74-61 and remain unbeaten at home.

Keely Lundy scored 13 points off the bench.
The Mountain Lion men would lead by double digits for a good portion of the second half, holding off a late Bobcat rally attempt to win 73-69. Liam Evans led all scorers with 22 points, while Brandon Kennedy contributed 13 points thanks in part to three three-pointers.
