It's official, the USC Salkehatchie Indians basketball team became CO-Champions with Brunswick Community College for the Region X regular season title. The Indians did what the needed to do to become co-champions of Region X. They knew that they would need to win their final two games and have Brunswick Community College to lose one of their games over the weekend to become the outright Region X champions."I knew that we had to win if we wanted to win the Region X regular season championship outright. We did what we had to do on our end and Brunswick Community College did what they needed to do and I take my hat off to those guys. I am just looking forward to the Region X tournament and we are going work hard this weekend, prepare hard and focus on winning games once we get to the tournament," said USC Salkehatchie head coach Travis Garrett.
The Indians and Brunswick Community College both finished the regular season with the same Region X record but the Indians will have the #2 seed going into the tournament.
So, on Thursday March 5th, the Indians will face Denmark Technical College at 4:00 pm as they begin their march to become the Region X tournament champions.
