Hey, it’s time for Last Night in the Lowco on WHHI, powered by LowcoSports.com!
The USCB Sand Sharks were back in The Cove last night to fire up a new in-state rivalry with the Lander Bearcats from up the road in Greenwood. Both Bearcats teams came in with 2-0 marks in Peach Belt Conference play, and they left with their perfect league records intact, but not without a fight from the Sand Sharks.
Sharon Versyp’s women used a terrific defensive effort to stay in the game and surged into the lead late in the third quarter, but the Bearcats found another gear in the final period and pulled away for a 56-41 win to drop USCB to 0-3 in league play.
The men’s game was a showdown of the Peach Belt’s highest-scoring team in the Sand Sharks and the league’s stingiest defense in the visiting Bearcats. Lander’s style won out, as the Bearcats frustrated USCB with extra possessions via the offensive glass and answered every Sand Shark frenzy with a big bucket to claim an 88-65 victory.
USCB will look to turn things around Saturday when Georgia Southwestern enters The Cove for a 1:30 p.m. tip for the women with the men to follow.
We also had a few high school games on the schedule, including a crosstown clash on the Isle of Ladies between the Beaufort Eagles and Battery Creek Dolphins. Our friends at Beaufort’s Own were in The Nest to broadcast a sweep for the Eagles, as Beaufort edged away for a 51-46 overtime win in the girls game and Naim Pope and Samari Bonds led a balanced effort as Beaufort’s boys downed the Dolphins 48-42. Rematch Jan. 26 in the Palace.
Bluffton split on the road with Lucy Beckham with the fifth-ranked girls winning 64-48, and Beaufort Academy swept Colleton Prep with Kamirah Freeman pouring in 32 points in the girls game. She’s averaging 34 over her last two contests. Nice.
