USC Aiken baseball head coach Kenny Thomas announced the signings of eight players Thursday. Robert Ard, Collin Beasley, Erik Davis, Ryan Hunt, Joseph Marlow, Brad Taylor, Zachary Trombley and Ben Utley signed to continue their academic and athletic careers at USCA beginning in the Fall of 2014.
“What a great class we were able to get this fall,” Thomas said. “We went after what we thought to be our needs with the idea of getting the best players we could get and I feel like we got about as close to that goal as possible. Led by Coach Walck, the assistant coaches did a great job with many tireless hours put into this class. I know Pacer fans will enjoy seeing these guys when they arrive here at USC Aiken.”

Ard, a 6-foot tall catcher from Lynchburg attended East Clarendon H.S. and is currently at USC Salkehatchie. In high school, he was a two-time all-state and all-region selection. As a senior, he was the Offensive Player of the Year. During Ard’s junior campaign, he was tabbed the team MVP.

Beasley, a 6-1 pitcher from Harlem, Ga., went 3-1 on the mound as a junior. He’s the younger brother of Derek, who’s currently a pitcher for the Pacers.

Davis, a 6-2 pitcher/designated hitter from Black Creek, Ga., attended Savannah Christian Prep School before enrolling at Georgia Perimeter College. While at GPC, he hit .370 and belted three home runs. In high school, he batted .350 and had an OPS of 1.200 while guiding his team to a conference championship. Davis earned all-region honors and was the team MVP.
Hunt, a 5-10 middle infielder from Glen Burnie, Md., attends Archbishop Spalding H.S. He posted a .392 average as a sophomore with 13 RBI and 10 runs scored. Hunt drove in 15 runs and scored 18 during his junior campaign.
Marlow’s a 6-5 pitcher from Kennesaw, Ga., where he attended Kennesaw Mountain H.S., where he was a three-time MVP. He picked up all-region and all-county accolades twice. As a junior, he batted .425 with eight homers and 52 RBI while going 8-2 on the mound. As a senior, he was 9-2. In one season at GPC, Marlow recorded 22 innings of work with a 0.00 ERA and 11 strikeouts.

Taylor’s a 6-4 right-handed pitcher from Fitzgerald, Ga. and attended Fitzgerald H.S., where he amassed a 47-12 record over and registered 382 strikeouts.
He was a three-time all-state selection and a four-year all-region honoree and was tabbed the Region Pitcher of the Year as a junior. He’s coming to USCA after a stint at GPC.
Trombley’s a 6-0 infielder from Broomfield, Colo., where he attends Holy Family H.S. As a junior, he totaled a .464 batting average with a .544 OBP and a .788 slugging percentage. Trombley drove in 35 runs and had 16 extra-base hits en route to being a first-team all-state selection. Trombley guided his team to a state championship.
Utley’s a 6-1 third-baseman and pitcher from Lawrenceville, Ga., that attends Mountain View H.S. As a junior, Utley batted .335 and carried a .475 on-base percentage. He was tabbed the team’s Most Valuable Offensive Player.

“Three JUCO pitchers and a high school pitcher set the tone for the class,” said Thomas, who will lead the Pacers in their season opener on Feb. 1 at home against Lincoln Memorial. “We got a JUCO catcher and two very talented high school infielders (Hunt & Utley). We feel like Utley has a chance to be a two-way player with great stuff on the mound. We also continue to go to Colorado and get solid hitters.”

Indians fall to 10-5 after dropping two in Florida

USC Salkehatchie head coach Travis Garrett knew these last two games were going to be a tall task, "We have been on the road since November 9th for a total of 10-games. I know it has been tough on the guys but overall I am excited we will get back home on January 6th. The guys have really given a 100 percent on this extended road trip and even with every loss, we have gotten better as a team. I am not making excuses for the loses but I want people to know this team is special and fans will see for themselves once we get back home"

The Indians faced perennial powerhouse Gulf Coast on Sunday and fell short by a final of 79-64. Coach Garrett said the team come out flat the first half and we unable to come back after trailing early.

Today the Indians faced the #4 team in the nation, Chipola and again came up short 91-83.

CONCORD, N.C. – The Benedict College men’s basketball team opened the 2013-14 season with an impressive 85-63 victory over Barber Scotia College on Thursday.

Andrew Crawford scored 22 points in his debut for the Tigers, connecting on five 3-pointers. Senior Lynden Davis added 21 points and a team-high seven rebounds. Brennan Reynard and Alex Brailsford each had six assists.

“Collectively, everybody played well,” Benedict head coach Fred Watson said. “The first game, there were some jitters we had to shake out early, but overall it was a good team win.”

The Tigers, now 1-0, overpowered the Sabers in the first half and jumped out to a 48-27 lead at the half. Crawford scored 19 points in the first half.

“We tried to get him going early and ran some plays for him,” Watson said about Crawford. “He’s a great shooter. I told everybody he’s one of the best shooters in the league and when he gets going, he’s hard to stop.”

Indians take another one, improve to 6-1 with win over Davidson Community College today in Region X bash.

The Indians improved to 6-1 on the season with a 97-92 victory over Davidson Community College in the Region X bash held in Raleigh, NC. Davidson CC came into today's game with a 5-0 record and had averaged 123-points per game.

"I knew coming into going the game we would to have to slow them down to be able to compete. We came out and did that in the first half but slipped going down the stretch, we have to listen better and understand you aren't the winner until the final buzzer," said USC Salkehatchie head coach Travis Garrett.

The Indians came out today and jumped in front early, leading 46-36 at the half. In the second half,the Indians increased their lead to 72-60 with a little over 9-minutes left. However, Davidson CC started to break down the Indians defense, pulling within three points with 20-seconds left.

The Indians would hold on for a 97-92 victory.

Coach Travis Garrett added," I am happy we won, it is always good when you get the W. I will say we have to go back to the drawing board with some issues and continue to work hard and grow as a team. I will tell everyone, this is a special group, something is different about them but they have to understand that winners continue to work hard everyday. We can't let a win over #1 ranked Central Florida and a record of 6-1 be the whole season. We set a goal to get back to the NJCAA tournament and with hard work, this team is very capable of doing that."

The Indians will be back in action November 29th against Central Georgia Tech and again on November 30th against Albany Tech.

The USC Salkehatchie Indians upset the #1 NJCAA team in the country College of Central Florida 92-89 this afternoon in Walterboro, SC.
The Indians jumped out to an early lead going up 12-4 in the first 5-minutes. College of Central Florida would fight back and take a 44-40 half-time lead over the Indians.

In the second half the game swayed back and forth early before College of Central Florida seemed to be pulling away as they had last year on their way to the school's first NJCAA national title.
They would go up by as many as 14-points in the second half, before sophomore Juimmy Givens got hot adding 7- three pointers in the second half.

The Indians would take the lead with 1:04 remaining in the game 90-88 and would hold on for the victory.

"I am excited for the kids, it was a great win for the team and they earned it today. We had every emotion in the game, we got up early and fell behind mid-way the first half and trailed at the half. I can't say enough about the way we never gave up Jimmy Givens proved today that he is a big-time player, he got us 45-points against an elite NJCAA team, he will be getting looks from 4-year schools. Today's win marks the first time in school history we beat a #1 and I am going to savor it tonight and get back to work tomorrow," said USC Salkehatchie head coach Travis Garrett.
