With second-leading scorer Stone McDonald limited in action, the Hilton Head Prep boys dug deep and followed Tyrone Calloway to a statement 49-32 home win over Beaufort Academy to begin region play Friday.
“We knew it was going to be a defensive battle,” Calloway said. “We wanted to limit Dawson Coleman, and that’s what won us this game.”
Coleman was limited to just seven points, while Elijah Fess led the Eagles with nine, sinking three triples.
The Dolphins led by 13 at halftime and kept rolling through the second half. Calloway, the star of the night, put up 28 points to lead all scorers. Luke Foley was Prep’s key rebounder, and the duo of Max Marko and Kane Eanes was productive off the bench. McDonald scored seven in limited action.
