Spartanburg Celebrates South Carolina State’s 85-70 Victory Over Upstate

Spartanburg Witnesses a Victory for South Carolina State

Last night folks, Spartanburg was overflowing with energy as our very own basketball team from South Carolina State cinched an 85-70 victory over South Carolina Upstate. More than just a game, it was a great display of talent and skill from both teams contributing to a thrilling performance for all who witnessed.

Highlighting the Key Performers

One player that made the crowd go wild with his performance was Drayton Jones. He really was the man-of-the-hour scoring 14 points for South Carolina State. Putting on a grand show, Jones shot 3 of 6 from the field, and 8 for 12 from the line for the Bulldogs, helping to tip the scales in their favor.

But it wasn’t just a one-man show. Omar Croskey, Mitchel Taylor, Davion Everett, and even the crafty reserve Wilson Dubinsky all added 11 points each for South Carolina State. Teamwork really is the name of the game, and Bulldogs sure did step up to the plate, executing a winning strategy where every player put their best foot forward.

South Carolina Upstate Puts Up a Good Fight

Despite the outcome, it’s important to remember that basketball is a game of ups and downs and the Spartans (4-10) really did give their all. Leading the charge from the Spartan front was Carmelo Adkins, who posted a whopping 21 points. A respectable figure that’s worth noting. South Carolina Upstate also had Mister Dean showcasing his prowess on the court with 17 points and six rebounds. Both young men should be proud of their efforts.

What’s Next for the Teams

But the ball doesn’t stop rolling here folks. The teams will be back in action this Saturday with South Carolina State visiting Northern Kentucky, and South Carolina Upstate hosting Youngstown State. So, gear up for yet another weekend full of mighty competition and displays of aptitude that’ll keep us on the edge of our seats.
