Barnwell High coach David Smith said it wasn't pretty, but it was a win.

"We wanted them to play us man-to-man, but they played zone. That's pretty much dictated the tempo and scoring of the game," Smith said. "It was hard trying to get into any type of offense flow because at times we just held the ball for minutes trying to get them out of their zone defense."

Others scoring for Barnwell High included Jasmine Tooks with nine points, three assists and four steals. Brittany Breeland and Megahan Williams each had six points. Raine Gilyard contributed six rebounds and four points.
