The Jefferson Davis Academy boys varsity basketball team had a good run this season. The Raiders turned in their most productive outing in more than 10 years with 19 victories.

However, the journey came to an end Feb. 23 with JDA losing to Covenant Academy 50-39 in the second round of the SCISA 1A playoffs at Orangeburg Preparatory Academy.

The loss closes out JDA's season at 19-3 overall, including a perfect 10-0 record in region play.

JDA coach Clint Inman said the team played as good as they could.

"We would have liked to kept playing basketball, but I guess all good things come to an end sooner or later," Inman said. "We defeated Covenant Academy earlier in the season, but this time they got the best of us. I thought they just did a better job of executing their offense than we did late in the game."

For JDA, the top scorer was Edward Givens with 16 points and 12 rebounds. Matthew Webster had a solid performance with nine points, seven steals and six assists. Nic Jamison added seven points and six steals. Chris McLean scored five points and Alex Still added two points and four rebounds.

"We had a very good season and It's been a pleasure for me coaching these young men," Inman said. "I would like to thank all of the families and fans that followed the team this year. I'd like to thank the board of directors and administration for all of their support in making this a successful season."
