The Whale Branch girls continued their strong start to the season with a hard-fought 40-35 road win at Beaufort High on Friday.
Zhani Thompson scored 13 points, and Kynew Barnwell added 10 to lead the Warriors in a defensive struggle. TreNasia Watson, Jazmin Diaz, and Erin Rivers each added five points for Whale Branch.
Layla Warren poured in 24 points, and Sequoia Smalls added eight for Beaufort, but the Eagles missed too many free throws down the stretch to close the gap.
