54 Good To Pirates

By Clint Cox

The Sneads Pirates boys basketball squad notched a couple of wins last week and the number 54 seemed to be the magic number. On Thursday they traveled to Tallahassee and escaped with a 54-52 win over the Eagles of North Florida Christian. Terrence Green was the leading scorer in Tallahassee with 16 points. Two other Pirates were in double figures as Jeff Bell and Will Holmes both hit 11 points.

On Friday night they played host to the Yellow Jackets of Vernon and posted a 54-42 victory. Green was again the lead scorer as he pumped in 17 points. Two different Pirates though followed Green this night as Jamar White was close behind with 16 points and Jeff Davis added 8 points.

Sneads improved to 4-3 on the season with these wins and were scheduled to host South Walton on Tuesday. Results of that game were not available at press time. The Pirates will be in action again this week with a couple of home games. They host Wewahitchka on Thursday and Holmes County on Friday.
