Almost done

The Pirates came out hot, jumping to an early 19-5 lead. South Winn rebounded in the second period with strong play on both ends of the floor to claim an eight-point advantage at the break. Defensive intensity and high energy levels by the Warriors, combined with some clutch jumpers and free throws in the second half, sealed the win for South Winn.
