Jordan Tillman Puts an End to Thomas Sumter Academy's Losing Streak on Friday
Thomas Sumter Academy's seven-game losing streak dating back to last season is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Jordan Tillman.

We rated that as his best performance of the season, edging out his previous best set back in August.
