The Laurens Raiders's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Friday after their third straight loss. They fell 69-59 to Greer. The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Laurens in their matchups with Greer: they've now lost five in a row.
When it comes to explaining why Laurens lost, one person who can't be blamed is Keilaund Singleton. Despite the final result, he scored 19 points along with three steals. As a matter of fact, that's the most points Singleton has scored all season.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Greer to victory, but perhaps none more so than Isaiah Henry, who scored 18 points along with three steals. That's the first time this season that Henry scored 15 or more points. The team also got some help courtesy of Amare Anderson, who scored 19 points along with two steals.
