Aycock focused on turnovers this week since the team gave up 28 last Friday. As for Hunt, they won't have much time to rest: their next match is against the Spartans at 6:00 p.m. on January 30th. Smithfield-Selma comes in on a streak of failing to score more than 21 points in their last 15 games, a trend the team is of course eager to reverse.
