Brunswick (10-9, 1-1) led by nine midway through the second half, but SMC steadily got closer even while missing so many 3-point shots. Finally, Motley made one with four minutes left to bring the Pioneers within in one point, 52-51. Dark had a tip-in to put SMC in front with 2:45 remaining in regulation.

Down three with 15.1 seconds left, SMC worked the ball to Sheppard in the corner, but he was trapped there and passed to Praylow, who knocked down the 3-pointer from the top of the key as he was being knocked down to the floor.

The Pioneers will take to the road next Saturday against USC Salkehatchie for a Region X matchup.
