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.

USC Salkehatchie upsets the #1 NJCAA team in the Country! USC Salkehatchie 92, College of Central Florida 89

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.

The Indians are now 4-1 on the season and will travel to Middle Georgia on Wednesday for a huge non-region match-up.
