Both Indians Teams Fall to Jefferson

Five games into the current basketball season and both the Stephens County Indians and Lady Indians are still looking for their first win. The fact that their Tuesday night opponent, the Jefferson Dragons, featured both girls and boys undefeated teams, didn’t help matters any.

The Lady Dragons of Jefferson put on a full court press most of the game and smothered the Lady Indians by a score of 76-25. It was the second time that the Lady Indians could only score 25 points against Jefferson. Ellie Kinlaw hit 8 three-point shots to lead the Lady Dragons with 26 points. Stephens County was led by My’Angel Carter with seven points and Sonada Brown with 6 points

Jefferson’s boys led from start to finish, rolling to a 63-52 win in the night-cap. J.T. Fulkrod led all scorers with 22 points. The Indians had two players in double figures. D.J. Hampton had 13 points and Moochie Morrison chipped in with 10 points.
