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.
