South Carolina Takes Both All Star Games.

 The 15th annual Carolina's All Star Classic basketball games played this past weekend in Myrtle Beach South Carolina were won by the Sand Lappers.  The girls game was not that close as the final was South Carolina 90- North Carolina 71.

The games were played with the clock set on twenty minute halves and Tia Hudgins and Aluxus Cooper both came in as first subs in the game just under 15 minutes in the first half. Both Rocky Mount senior girls Hudgins logged 18 minutes of playing time and she scored six points on 1-4 shooting but made 4-4 free throws.  She also pulled down four rebounds.  Cooper played 13 minutes and she also scored six points and she made two out of three shots plus two for two at the line.  She also hauled in three rebounds.

Hudgins only basket was classic Tia Hudgins as at the 6.33 mark in the half she pulled down her second rebound and put it back up for two points.  Just under five minutes to play Cooper was credited with an assist and she scored her first points with .28 seconds to play in the half when she sank two free throws.
The All Star game was played Saturday night in Myrtle Beach at Socastee High school.

Gryphons Terrill Hilliard played in the boys game and coach Mike Gainey was on the North Carolina bench as assistant coach.  South Carolina also won that game but this one was a dog fight as the final was 100-96.  Hilliard started for the North Carolina All Stars.  Hilliard played 19 minutes as every player in this game played between 19 and 20 minutes.  He was 2-5 shooting and made a three pointer but less than 20 seconds into the game Hilliard recorded one of his five rebounds in the game and by the half had a steal and an assist.
He made his three point attempt with six minutes to go and a layup with under five minutes to play.

Monday night Lady Gryphon Soccer beat Hunt at Hunt 4-1. Lauren Smith lead the way with two goals.

Tonight baseball 0-1 in Big East play travels to Hunt in a game that the Gryphons need badly if they plan on staying in the race for a playoff spot this season.  Game time is 7pm at Hunt.
