The MS Indians basketball teams split Friday night at home against Habersham, with the A-Team taking a solid 40-33 win and the B-Team dropping a 53-14 final.

The A-Team took the 7-point win after leading 20-14 at the break. TFS never trailed, and Brantley Addison had a game-high 14 points as part of his sixth double-double on the season. Lincoln Hicks had 13 points and came up with clutch plays in the final two minutes to help secure the win. Asa Popham chipped in with four points, while Ethan Phasavang, Woods Irvin, and Grantley Smith each scored three.

"This was a great TEAM win for the guys," says coach Nathan Stanley. "I am proud of their hard work, determination, and grit that they showed out on the court tonight. This team feels united and strong going into a big region week next week. Everyone played a huge role in the win whether on defense or the offensive end. There are still things that we need to iron out in the coming weeks, but this team is moving in the right direction heading into the back end of the season."

The B-Team lost 53-14, and came out strong after the break, scoring all 14 points in the third quarter. Max Pulliam led with six points, Noah Randall added five, and Hayes Usher had three points.

The MS Lady Indians lost a 33-15 contest to Habersham, while Payton McEntire scored a team-best nine points.

"We had a great second quarter to make us down by one, but after that we kind of fell apart," says coach Jenny Long. "But we didn't quit and we kept on fighting."

The Lady Indians are now 5-5 on the season.
