Roberson boys beat North Buncombe 79-75 in tight Feb. 12 game

Roberson edged North Buncombe 79-75 in a high-school basketball game on Feb. 12, 2026, a result recorded in a photo gallery and short recap published by the Asheville Citizen-Times. The narrow four-point margin defined a close contest that the Citizen-Times chose to document visually, with action shots and sideline coverage intended to capture the flow of the game.

The gallery on the Citizen-Times carries the headline "Roberson basketball vs North Buncombe, our best photos" and includes images of game action, players, coaches and the crowd. That visual package is presented as part of Buncombe County winter high-school sports coverage, offering local readers a photographic record of the Feb. 12 matchup between the two schools.

The published material explicitly provides the final score and the gallery content but does not include several standard game details. The Citizen-Times item contains no box score, no scoring by quarter or half, and no individual player statistics such as points, rebounds, assists, steals or turnovers. The report also omits coach names, postgame quotes, venue specifics such as which gym hosted the game, attendance figures, and photographer credit for the gallery images.

Those gaps limit what the public record currently shows about the Feb. 12 contest. Without player names or a box score, it is not possible from the available gallery and recap to identify game leaders, key stretches of scoring, or whether the result affected Roberson's or North Buncombe's standing in Buncombe County or conference play. The Asheville Citizen-Times is the primary source named in the material, and the gallery serves as the visual documentation linked to the 79-75 final.

Completing the record for this game will require supplemental details that are not in the gallery: a full box score, quarter-by-quarter scoring, player and coach identifications, the location of the contest, and a publication caption or photographer credit for the images. Those specifics would allow local sports editors, coaches and school athletic departments to evaluate the game's competitive and standings implications across Roberson and North Buncombe programs.

For readers tracking Buncombe County high-school basketball, the Citizen-Times gallery provides a concrete visual snapshot of a closely contested Feb. 12 game that ended 79-75. The photographic record documents players, coaches and crowd reaction even as the numerical and contextual details that give the result full meaning remain to be added to the public record.
