High School basketball is now officially underway in our are. Preseason tourneys are over and region play will be here this week for 5A. We think there will be some really good teams in our area this year and some really good players that we will be able to highlight this year. One of those teams that looks to have a promising season are the Chesnee Eagles. On reason we expect them to be good is the play of senior Eli Brown.

The playoffs roll on and 5 of our local teams have made it to round 3 this Friday night. Things only get tougher from here. Some of our local teams cruised on Friday night will others had shootouts. On team that was involved in a very tight game in which they were able to pull out a win was Mountain View Prep. The Stars went on the road and beat a good Crescent team 50-49. A catalyst in that win Friday night was WR/ATH Kadarus Hainsworth.
