AUGUSTA, GA (WJBF)- It’s basketball in the month of March, which means it’s that time of year for high school basketball teams inching closer to playing for a state title.
The Butler Boys basketball team are the 2A defending state champions, they hosted Columbia. De’Cori Fleming exploded for a team high 34 points, to propel them to a 66-43 victory.
“The message of this whole run so far has been, just be the best version of us. As a coach, it’s an advantage when your team can just be themselves as long as they have the best version, then you have a chance to win the game,” said Butler head coach Chaz Clark.
“When you don’t have to do too much or nothing spectacular, or nothing too grand, it helps as a coach, especially having a wonderful coaching staff.”
The Bulldogs will face KIPP Atlanta Collegiate in Douglasville on March 6.
Now, over to Cross Creek, the Razorbacks faced off against a familiar opponent in the Baldwin Braves, a region foe. They also played in front of a max capacity, sold out crowd.
