South Carolina High School Basketball - Goose Creek can't hold off West Ashley

December 4, 2024: Charleston, SC 29414

West Ashley Wildcats (Charleston, SC) boosters left the game satisfied Wednesday as they witnessed their basketball squad nudge the visiting Goose Creek Gators (Goose Creek, SC), 73-66 in a non-league match.

With the victory, West Ashley upgrades its record to 2-2 on the year. The Wildcats travel to Carolina Forest (Myrtle Beach, SC) to face the Panthers in a non-league match on Friday, December 6. The Panthers enter the match with a record of 2-0. Carolina Forest won 70-63 in their recent non-league match against Wando (Mt. Pleasant, SC)

The Gators now sport a 4-1 record. They put it on the line next when they host Carvers Bay for a non-league match on Monday, December 9.
