SOUTH TURNS TABLES ON SUNCREST

In the battle of future Mohigans, South evened the season series with a 34-29 victory over the Seals last night at the Corral. Jeff Leftridge and Shaun Carden led the Stallions in scoring with 14 points each. Andy Vac had 10 points to lead Suncrest.

South Coach Bill Hines however credited Deshon Gibson for his scrappy play in the victory. ÒDeshon was very active tonight and got his hands on a lot of loose balls.Ó Said Hines. ÒOur rebounding and defense has gotten better and was the key to the victory.Ó

South has a record of 8-6 and will play Westwood tonight. Suncrest will host Cheat Lake this evening. The Mon County Middle School tournament will begin on Saturday morning at University High.
