HSBBB: Eagles rally, hold off Creek in rivalry matchup

Beaufort High’s boys stormed back from a 13-point second-half deficit to stun visiting Battery Creek 44-43 on Friday. 

Ollie Holmes scored 17 points and Zyrin Odom added nine to lead the Eagles. 

David Smith hit the go-ahead bucket for Beaufort, and Odom deflected Battery Creek’s inbounds pass with 3.5 seconds left to help the Eagles hang on. 

Amoni Waring scored 17 points, and Jordan Rivers added 11 for the Dolphins. 

“We came out with great energy, we just fell short at the end,” Dolphins coach CJ Brown said. “I give credit to Coach (Jeremy) Huff for keeping his guys poised.”
