Cards’ offense clicks in wins

Potts Camp basketball teams didn’t let the week off due to snow and ice slow them down.

They swung back into action Tuesday, Jan. 23, at home with a sweep of Region 2-1A opponent Myrtle.

Jazmine Anderson’s 26 points led the Lady Cardinals to a 55-38 win. She hit five threes, with three of those coming in the second half.

Ashley Anderson was also in double digits with 13 points, eight of hers coming in the first half.

The game was close at intermission, with Potts Camp clinging to a 20-17 advantage.

But the second half was all Lady Cardinals as they outscored the Lady Hawks 35-21.

The Potts Camp boys were on fire, almost hitting the century mark. They routed Myrtle 88-67.

It was much the same story as the girls game. The Cardinals were up 35-29 at halftime and then outscored the Hawks 53-38 in the second half.

Four Potts Camp players scored in double figures – Jaquives Muse with 23, including four threes, Trell Kimmons with 22, Martavious Frost with 16 and Mitchell Saulsberry with 12.

The red-hot Cards then put up 38 points in the third quarter and coasted to the 41-point win.

It was a balanced scoring attack for Potts Camp. Hitting in double digits were Kedavian Faulkner with 14, Frost, Saulsberry and Kimmons all with 13 each and Kylan Conners with 10.

The Lady Cardinals dropped a 52-40 decision to the Lady Eagles in the first game of the evening.
