High school basketball gameday: A preview of top midweek games in the Rock Hill area
Here is a preview of the top Rock Hill-area high school basketball games for Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Records do not include Monday’s games.
TUESDAY
(boys) Indian Land (13-1, 1-0 Region 3 5A) at Nation Ford (7-6, 0-1), around 7:30 p.m. — Michael Jones (22.9 ppg) and Sequel Patterson (13.7) lead the Warriors as they hit the road for a region game. They face a Nation Ford squad that is coming off an impressive victory Friday over Weddington. Ben Cuttey (14.3 ppg) is the Falcons’ leading scorer.
(girls) Rock Hill (10-4, 1-1 Region 3 5A) at Fort Mill (7-7, 1-1), around 6:15 p.m. — Aubrey Stevenson is pacing the Bearcats, averaging 15.4 points and 7.2 assists per contest. Fort Mill has been troubled by erratic shooting this season, and the Yellow Jackets are coming off two straight narrow losses.
(boys) York Prep (9-3, 2-0 Region 4 2A) at Andrew Jackson (5-5, 1-0), around 7:30 p.m. — These teams are a contrast in styles. York Prep is averaging 64.2 points a game; Andrew Jackson has a 53.4-points-per-game average. Can the Volunteer defense slow York Prep’s attack?
WEDNESDAY
(girls) Camden (6-2, 0-0 Region 3 4A) at South Pointe (13-0, 1-0), around 6:15 p.m. — Camden has the kind of team that could give South Pointe problems. The Bulldogs shoot the ball well and have three players averaging 15 points or more a contest. An interesting South Pointe statistic: leading scorers Kaleigh Lucas and JaNyia Cunningham, together, are shooting 50.1 percent from the floor. The rest of the team is connecting 31.7 percent of the time.
