Friday?s area sports briefs

MYRTLE BEACH The Myrtle Beach Seahawks boys basketball has finally got it?s first win under its belt with a 70-67 victory over Mullins on Friday.

?It was close,? Myrtle Beach coach Craig Martin said. ?Mullins is a really good team and they made a little run in the third quarter to tighten it up a little bit. It came down to execution at the end, and we did relatively well and hit our free throws down the stretch.?

The Seahawks entered the fourth quarter with 48-46 deficit, and outscored the Auctioneers by five in the fourth quarter to secure a win. Norin Butler had a team-high 20 points for Myrtle Beach, and Solomon Cooper added 12.

?It was excellent,? Martin said of his team?s performance. We played team first, and I think you can tell by the score, we spread the ball out and that?s what we want. Our kids really played unselfish.?

Mullins was led by Alex Brown?s game-high 24 points. Demetri Readds added 20 points, and Jalik Felton had 17.

?? (At) St. James 58, Waccamaw 44 | The Sharks started out slow but finished with an impressive fourth quarter, edging out Waccamaw for the win.

?It was a close game the whole way,? St. James coach Monty Carr said. ?During the third quarter, Waccamaw took the lead, but we finished the third with a two point lead and we took advantage of the turnovers by Waccamaw to get the margin in the fourth quarter.?

Tre McCallum had a game-high 21 points while teammate Caleb Duggan added 12 for the Sharks.

Adding another notch to the win column is always a positive, but Coach Carr isn?t discounting his team?s slow start.

?It was not a positive offensive showing for us,? Carr said. ?We didn?t shoot the ball well, but we took advantage of the turnovers, which helped tremendously. Every win?s a good win.?

Noah Gulley led the Warriors with 13 points.
