Hemingway had to start their season on the road on Monday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They took a blow against the Waccamaw Warriors, falling 79-29. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Tigers of the 62-22 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in November of 2022.
Despite the defeat, Hemingway saw an underclassman step up: sophomore Jamier Wright had five points plus nine rebounds.
Waccamaw's victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Sutton Cooper, who went 7 for 12 en route to 18 points. Another player making a difference was Leon Womack, who made all 5 shots he took racking up 11 points plus five rebounds and two steals.
Hemingway didn't take long to hit the court again: they've already played their next game, a 40-28 loss against Kingstree on the 3rd. Waccamaw has also already played their next matchup, a 68-55 defeat against Mullins on the 26th.
