The Indian Land Warriors are off to a blazing start in Region play, showing why they’re the 6th-ranked team in the state. In front of an electric home crowd, the Warriors powered past the Rock Hill Bearcats with a convincing 67-56 victory, moving to an impressive 13-1 overall and 1-0 in Region competition.
The game wasn’t just a win—it was a statement. From the opening whistle, the Warriors’ trademark fast-paced offense and suffocating defensive intensity were on full display. Led by star guard Mike Jones, who poured in 21 points, and standout Sequel Patterson, who added 14, the team showed they’re a force to be reckoned with in the Region.
One of the night’s most jaw-dropping moments came in the second quarter, when Jones and Patterson connected on an alley-oop off the backboard that brought the crowd to its feet. It was a play that showcased not only their athleticism but also their chemistry, making them one of the most dynamic duos in the state.
Rock Hill found themselves struggling to break through Indian Land’s relentless defense, which forced key turnovers and kept the Bearcats out of rhythm. While the Bearcats made a late push, the Warriors’ depth and discipline ultimately secured the win.
This win is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting Region schedule for the Warriors. With their quick tempo, defensive tenacity, and standout performances from players like Jones and Patterson, this team is proving they’re not just talented—they’re contenders.
Up next, the Warriors will look to keep the momentum going as they prepare for their next Region matchup Tuesday, January 7th at Nations Ford. If Friday nights performance is any indication, Indian Land is a team to watch as the season heats up.
