The USC Salkehatchie Indians came out and took the early lead and never looked back in the first half. Brunswick CC came within one point of tying the game but would come up short of taking the lead right before the half.
The Indians lead at the half 41-40.
"We have got to learn that teams aren't going to roll over for us, we are giving up too many points and it is something we have to correct. I am not happy as we walk to this locker room, let's see what we do in the second half," said USC Salkehatchie head coach Travis Garrett.
In the second half, the Indians held the lead until 9:10 in the half. Brunswick would take the lead 65-64 and extend it to four points with 8:45 left.
The Indians defense finally stepped up and retook the lead with 7:44 left, 70-69 and never looked back.
The Indians would go on to get the win, 94-87.
Coach Travis Garrett said, "I am not excited about the play of our defense, I am thrilled that Jimmy Givens was able to give us a spark with 37-points off the bench. We will suit up and try it again tomorrow against Clinton Jr. College, it's going to be a big test."
The Indians are now 15-9 on the season and 5-3 in Region X play.
The face Clinton Jr. College tomorrow at 4:00 pm.
