Beaufort Academy’s boys ended their season in the quarterfinals of the SCISA 1A state tournament with a 65-35 loss to Richard Winn Academy on Monday at Wilson Hall.
It was an off night for the BA boys, and unlike recent games in which the Eagles showed resilience and made a comeback in the last few minutes, the hole was too big to dig out of this time.
Beaufort Academy was up 20-16 at halftime until Richard Winn woke up and took control to gain a 33-22 lead at the end of the third quarter.
Dawson Coleman scored 14 points and Elijah Fess had six to lead the Eagles (15-11), who had won three straight games.
Richard Winn will face fellow No. 1 seed Clarendon Hall in the semifinals at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Wilson Hall.
