Swain Wins 9th Straight, Advances

February 21, 2013 by Toby Burrell

The last time Cherokee and Swain met, the Maroon Devils suffered through their worst start of the season and had to come from behind to take an overtime win from Cherokee.  This time around the Maroon Devils made sure that didn’t happen.  Swain bolted out to a 30-10 advantage midway through the second quarter, then held on down the stretch to take a 58-52 win from their county rival.

With the win the Devils advance to face number 1 seed Hayesville in Friday SMC Tournament Championship game.  The Devils and Jackets split during the regular season, with both teams winning on their home floor.
