HSGBB: Mack, Warriors finish sweep of Eagles

The Whale Branch girls finished off a season sweep of crosstown rival Beaufort High with a 45-22 home win Friday. 

Kynew Barnwell poured in 19 points and Zhani Thompson added 10 to lead the Warriors, who locked down the Eagles on defense. 

Layla Warren scored 12 points to lead Beaufort, which did not reach double digits in any quarter and was limited to one point in the fourth quarter. 

The season sweep for the Warriors evens second-year Whale Branch coach LaToya Mack’s record against the school where she starred at 2-2. 

“Last year, after losing to them, I promised myself it wasn’t going to happen again,” Mack said. “I love Beaufort High, that’s my alma mater, but right now it’s about business.”
