Short-handed Irmo boys top Ridge View, plus Tuesday’s basketball scoreboard
Playing without one of its top players, the Irmo boys basketball team needed contributions from everyone and got it on Tuesday.
Four players scored in double figures as the third-ranked Yellow Jackets defeated Ridge View, 59-49, in Region 5-4A play.
Irmo was without leading scorer Brandon, who has mononucleosis and coach Tim Whipple said will be out for a few weeks. But others such as AJ Brand and Jonathan White picked up the slack. Brand had 15 and White had 13. Te’Andre Summons led the way with 16 and Madden Collins had 11.
“Any time you are playing without an important part of your offense and defense, everyone has to pick up their game and everyone has to contribute. Their roles become important. And everyone did that and was all in,” Whipple said.
The Yellow Jackets led through most of the game. The Blazers cut the lead to seven in the fourth quarter but that was close as it gets.
Adonis McDaniel led Ridge View with 24 points.
Tuesday’s Notables
▪ Camden junior Joyce Edwards went over the 2,500-point mark in her career after scoring 24 points in a win over Darlington.
▪ Keenan senior MiLaysia Fulwiley had a triple-double of 13 points, 10 steals, 11 assists in a win over Eau Claire.
▪ Richland Northeast and Westwood boys won on last second shots in wins. RNE’s Marquis Smith hit a shot at the buzzer to beat AC Flora, 46-44.
Kaprice Rowan hit an off-balanced shot fading away from the basket to give the Redhawks a 54-52 win over Lugoff-Elgin in OT.
