A great game from start to finish. A game of emotion and runs. SC came out and jumped on JC early, but at the half SC seemed a little timid and did not match the intensity of JC untill their lead had been evaporated. Despite being outscored 21-3 in the third the Cardinals fought tooth and nail to be in the game and had some chances but just couldn't get the shots to fall. May, just like he is in every big game, was a man among boys tonight. He played an excellent game and capped off what has been a great run as a Cardinal. Porter of SC hit some huge shots in the first half and showed great poise for a freshman in a district tournament. Crum was Crum playing all out and playing fearless the entire game. Hensley is a fierce competator and did a great job defending one of the better athletes in the region. Johnson and Hinkle both rebounded and played one of their better games when it mattered most. Congrads to Johnson Central.

Now for the SC seniors. Shawn Johnson and Jarret Robinson are both stand up individuals and should be commended for what they have done for the SC basketball program. They are class acts and I wish them the best of luck in all they do.
Brandon May has been one of the best players to put on a Cardinal uniform. I have seen every SC basketball team on numerous occasions since 1993 and I can not recall a single player who was any better than #22. He has been a key part in SC basketball since he first dawned on the jersey his 8th grade year. He has been the leading scorer since his sophmore year. All that being said he is not close to being as good of a basketball player as he is a person. He is one of the best people you will ever lay your eyes on. They do not make better people than Brandon May. Good luck in all you do Brandon. I am proud of you Stud.
