TRIBE WINS SUBSTATION II CHAMPIONSHIP!!

The Gaffney Indians got a strong 4th quarter surge to pound the Chesnee Eagles 81 to 59. Gaffney senior post player Chase Smith won tourney MVP honors as the Indians won the Substation II Tournament Championship for the 1oth time in 11 tournaments. The Tribe has a 21 and 1 record in the tournaments 11 year history. Gaffney's record improves to 7 and 0 on the young season.

EARLY SEASON OPINION ON THE GAFFNEY BOYS

I personally went to see the Tribe play both games in the Substation II Tournament and I came away not as impressed as I thought I would be. They had a very lackadaisical performance against Spartanburg Christian and their defensive intensity was not there in the game against Chesnee. For the Indians to contend for a State Championship this season they are going to have to play with more defensive intensity and they are going to have to rebound the ball a whole lot better than they have so far this season.

UPWARD CLASSIC AT DORMAN HIGH SCHOOL

The Indians are competing in the Upward Classic this week on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The Tribe played their first game yesterday against Peachtree Ridge from Georgia. The Indians suffered their first loss of the young season by a score of 87 to 70. Josh Corry had a game high 27 points but it wasn't enough for the Tribe to remain in the winners bracket. Gaffney plays Butler from North Carolina today.

LADY HILLTOPPERS CLASSIC

The Gaffney Lady Indians dropped their game on Monday in the Lady Hilltopper Classic to the host school R.S. Central by a score of 59 to 41. The Lady Indians record falls to 4 and 3.
