The Eastside boys basketball team could not put Mauldin away last week, despite holding a 16-point lead in the second half. Costly mistakes handed the Eagles their third loss of the season, as the Mavericks won 60-54.

“We had the game in the bag and then let it go,” Eastside coach Tom Chamness said.

USC Aiken defeated the North Greenville men’s basketball team, 74-63, Saturday afternoon.

Second chance points proved to be the different as the Pacers had 22 while the Crusaders had seven. Daniel Burchette led North Greenville in scoring with 20 points.

The firing of New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo along with general manager Jerry Reese was both long overdue and a lesson for anyone who works in human resources.

The Lady Rebels improved to 4-1 last week with a 55-35 beatdown of JL Mann.

While the score didn’t end up being close, Byrnes head coach Missy Fowler said her team played sloppy basketball at times.

Last week’s loss to Blue Ridge has the Riverside boys basketball team looking for redemption.

The Warriors, now 1-2, will take on Eastside and JL Mann in hopes of reclaiming a winning record in non-conference action.

It’s a new year, and although Diamon Shiflet isn’t walking through the door for the Yellow Jackets, the Greer girls basketball team is expecting to compete in the region with a younger squad.

Head coach Mazzie Drummond has his team off to a 3-2 start with early losses to Dorman and Byrnes.

A 2-3 start may not be a strong indicator of where the Yellow Jackets will finish the season.

The Greer boys basketball team opened the season against five Class AAAAA opponents, but topping Maulin and Laurens before falling to Irmo, Dorman and Byrnes.
