Scott County is a beast

[rojas]

Scott County beats another nationally ranked team (#20 in MaxPreps computer ratings) without Michael Moreno. Scott County played five guards against the bigger NLR team. NLR is the defending 7A Arkansas state champions and have won 4 of the last 6 7A state titles. NLR shot 59% from the floor and still lost. I don't think I have ever seen that. SC finished the game with 2 players fouled out and two more with 2 fouls. Glenn Covington had 31 points.

Billy Hicks was inducted into the Beach Ball Classic Hall of Fame before the game.
