How often do you score 18 points in a basketball game, which doubled the opposition’s output, have only six points entering the fourth quarter and come away with a win. That is exactly what Southern Fulton did Thursday night at Southern Huntington County in a cross-division ICC game. The Indians (4-2, 1-0 ICC South) defeated SHC 18-9.

The Indians had a 4 to 3 lead at the end of the first quarter and added 2 more in the 2^nd to take a 3 point lead to halftime.

The 3^rd period was another slow scoring affair with Southern Huntington scoring 4 points and the Indians coming up empty.  In the 4^th quarter, Southern Fulton came alive and outscored the Rockets 12 to 2, winning the contest 18 to 9.

Coach Jeremy Hann commented, “They wanted to sit in a 2-3 zone in the first half and not come out of it.  We had the lead, so I just felt like we didn’t need to engage if packing it in, and standing there, was their plan.  To start the 3^rd, they held it a bit, maybe thinking they were having a hard time scoring, but then in the 4^th, they had to go man and we closed them out”.

Southern Fulton was led by Sam Stotler with 7 points and 3 steals.  Hunter Ward had 5 points, and 2 rebounds.  Ethan Mellott had 2 points, and 7 rebounds.  Trenton Cain had 2 points and 3 rebounds.  Paul Hendershot added 2 points and 2 rebounds.

Southern Fulton next plays Legacy Christian, at the Berkeley Springs Holiday Tournament on Wednesday, December 27^th at 6:00 p.m.
