After flying high against the Aynor Blue Jackets last Tuesday, the Waccamaw Warriors came back down to earth. Waccamaw fell just short of Dillon by a score of 46-43. While losing is never fun, Waccamaw can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' South Carolina basketball rankings (they are ranked 200th, while Dillon is ranked 97th).

As a matter of fact, that's the most points Behney has scored all season. Another player making a difference was Dutch Kerns, who scored seven points along with five steals and two blocks.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Dillon to victory, but perhaps none more so than Zamaurious Robertson, who scored 13 points along with three steals. The team also got some help courtesy of Shawn Samuel, who scored eight points along with 15 rebounds and three steals.
