Following a 55-52 win over Swansea in their final home game on Tuesday, Strom Thurmond edged Midland Valley 48-44 on Thursday. The Swansea game was closely contested before the Rebels eventually came away with the victory.Leroy Gilchrist scored 16 and Justin Smith 12 points to lead Strom Thurmond in the win. The Rebels led the Midland Valley contest from start to finish. A 14-9 Strom Thurmond lead at the end of the first quarter held strong at 24-19 at halftime. Midland Valley rallied in the fourth quarter but could not overcome the early deficit. One reason the Mustangs kept the contest close was their 6-2 edge in 3-point baskets. The Rebels helped to overcome that deficit by outscoring Midland Valley 18-4 from the free throw line. Gilchrist had 19 and Smith 12 to lead the Rebels in the win. Taylor Grover had 10 points in a losing cause to lead Midland Valley. Strom Thurmond improved to 13-10 with the victory while Midland Valley fell to 7-18 with the loss. The Rebels begin action in the AAA Lower State playoffs as a number two seed on Tuesday. They will host third seed Bluffton at 7:30 p.m. The winner of that game has a second round date with the winner of the game between top seed Crestwood and fourth seed Socastee.

Chapin had secured the region title with a 47-29 victory over the Lady Eagles on Tuesday. Strom Thurmond closed out the home part of their regular season schedule with a 49-39 win over Swansea on Tuesday. Junior guard Courtney Mealing led the Lady Rebels with a game-high 31 points. She was the only Strom Thurmond player in double figures although forward/center Gina Easler was close with nine points. Karisceda Cotton scored 18 points to lead the offensive attack for Swansea. The Lady Rebels closed out the regular season with a 51-27 win at rival Midland Valley on Thursday.

Midland Valley did cut the margin to 10 points at the end of the first half, but a 21-point third quarter from Strom Thurmond turned the game decisively back in their favor. Mealing was the only player on either team in double figures with 33 points. Strom Thurmond improved to 13-11 overall and 7-3 in region play with the Midland Valley victory.
