Battery Creek’s boys gave their first-year head coach his first victory with a 53-45 home win over Bluffton on Saturday.
Jordan Rivers scored 13 points, Amoni Waring added 11, and Daviyone Sanders had 10 to lead a balanced effort for the Dolphins, who gave CJ Brown his first win as a head coach on the same court where he starred in high school.
“It felt good getting the win tonight,” said Brown, who just missed his first victory in a 44-43 loss at Beaufort High on Friday. “We played hard and finished the game. We’re coming together and getting better every day.”
The Bobcats were unable to continue the momentum from Friday’s 44-42 home win over rival May River, as they got off to a sluggish start at the offensive end and managed only 16 points in the first half.
Tyler Rice scored 11 points to lead the Bobcats, while Jatelvyan Mosley and Lee Kirkland added seven apiece.
