Martin County took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Tuesday. They took their matchup with ease, bagging a 64-13 win over the Southside Seahawks. The Gators haven't had any issues with the Seahawks recently, as the game was their fifth consecutive victory against them.

Leading Martin County to victory were Jy'Mir Hollis and Jordan Matthewson. Hollis went 8-for-11 on his way to 17 points and four steals, while Matthewson shot 73% from the field en route to 16 points and four steals. Those 73% shooting accuracy gave Matthewson a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Zymere Ruffin, who posted ten points.

Martin County was working as a unit and finished the game with 19 assists. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Southside only posted two.

Southside's loss dropped their record down to 1-1.

Southside wasted no time getting back out on the court and has already played their next game, a 64-49 win against North East Carolina Prep on the 4th. Hopefully Martin County paid attention to the Seahawks' contest: the next time they hit the field, they'll take on the Seahawks at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
