Goldsboro's Daquan Joyner scored 20 points as the Cougars defeated Washington 70-68 at home on Tuesday in a Class 3-A Eastern Carolina Conference tilt.

Tim Kornegay and Raheem Loftin added 13 points each for Goldsboro, which improved to 5-0 overall and 3-0 against conference foes.

The Cougars had just seven turnovers on the night, while forcing 15.

"We didn't play well last night and we found a way to win," Goldsboro coach Randy Jordan said. "We've got to play better defensively if we are going to be in the position at the end of the season to make some noise.

"Defense is the one thing we can control and we didn't control that."

Washington's Calvin Daniels led his team with 29 points, while teammate Nigel Rogers chipped in 14 points.

Goldsboro takes on future, Class 2-A Eastern Plains Conference rival North Lenoir in the Cougar Den on Thursday. A large crowd is expected for the game with the Hawks and fans are encouraged to arrive as early as possible.
