Coker’s Prosser Earns SAC Pitcher of the Week Honors

Feb. 4, 2014
HARSTVILLE, S.C. – Coker College baseball player Matthew Prosser has been named the South Atlantic Conference Pitcher of the Week, the league office announced today. Prosser is the first baseball player to receive a SAC weekly award.
In his Coker debut, Prosser tossed six shutout innings to earn the win in Coker’s 12-3 victory over Chowan, allowing only two hits while striking out seven. Prosser’s strong performance helped lead Coker to a 2-1 series victory over the Braves during the season’s opening weekend.
For the season, Prosser is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA and seven strikeouts in six innings on the mound. His seven strikeouts are good for third in the SAC, while his win total and ERA are tied for first.
Prosser transferred to Coker this season from USC Salkehatchie. A sophomore from Florence, S.C., Prosser is an education major. He is the son of Robin and Dave Prosser.

Indians fall in close one at home against Brunswick CC 79-77

The Indians were coming off several huge wins to start Region X play against Denmark Technical College earlier in the week and Spartanburg Methodist on Saturday.

USC Salkehatchie head coach Travis Garrett knew that today's contest against Brunswick CC would be a war, "I told the guys prior to the game that we always have close games against Brunswick CC and today would be no different. Brunswick head coach Walter Shaw and I are great friends and we like to beat each other and we coach hard and hopefully it carries on to the kids."

The Indians fell behind earlier as Brunswick CC jumped out to a 12-5 lead but fought back and lead at the half, 42-35.

In the second half, it was a back and forth game with no team getting more than four points ahead. The Dolphins would take their biggest lead of the half with twenty seconds to go, six points.
The Indians had one last chance with the score 77-78 and 4.2 seconds left, the Indians in-bounds pass would be stolen by Brunswick with 1.2 seconds and the Dolphins would hit one of two free-throws to close out the game.

"We have to start making free-throws and playing smarter. We are soft right now under the basket and must learn to box-out and get rebounds. We are a really good team but we have to start playing more as a unit and someone has to step-up and become the leader," said Garrett. 

The final was Brunswick CC 79, USC Salkehatchie 77.
The Indians are now 14-8 on the season and 2-1 in Region X play. Brunswick CC improves to 4-1 in Region X.

The Indians will be back in action on Tuesday night against Clinton Jr. College in Rock Hill, SC at 7:30 pm.

We will need to come out tomorrow and play flawless to beat Brunswick," said Garrett.

The Indians will again be home on Sunday against Brunswick Community College at 3:00 pm. Brunswick lost to SMC by two points in overtime earlier this year.

"Brunswick is another very well coached team and they will be ready to play. We have always battled them hard and they play us hard. I wouldn't expect anything less than a war on Sunday. We have to understand that teams want to beat us as much as we want to beat them. Our guys are prepared and I hope everyone will come out this weekend and watch some great basketball teams," said Garrett.

The Indians started the season 10-2 and things seemed to be rolling right along, that is until the last five games, "We just hit a point on the extended road trip where the guys got tired and weary. I knew it was a long time to be on the road when the schedule came out but I also knew in the long run it would make us stronger," said USC Salkehatchie head coach Travis Garrett.

The Indians 10-7 on the season would face Middle Georgia State at home and from the opening tip-off things would go the Indians way. The Indians lead throughout the first half, taking a 52-31 lead in the locker room.

"We came out and executed tonight, I told the guys in the locker room prior to the game that this is our house and we have to set the tempo at home. I was pleased with the play of Denzel Collins tonight he was a leader on the court and the other guys followed," said Garrett.

In the second half it was again smooth sailing for the Indians offense as they would add another 39 points. Coach Garrett would be able to get many reserve players playing time, "It is always good for any program to get their young players on the court. We have some talent on the bench and I hope the fans got a glimpse of the future tonight," said Garrett.

When the final buzzer went off, the Indians would get the victory with a 91-76 final score over Middle Georgia. Tonight marks the last time these two schools will meet as Middle Georgia State will go to the NAIA next season.

The Indians are now 11-7 on the season and will be back in action at home on Friday against SC Sports Academy at 7:00 pm.

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.

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.

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.
