DUNLAP, Tenn. – As they have jumped out to a great start so far this season, the Sequatchie County basketball team has shown that they can win a game in a variety of ways. The one way that hadn’t been tested was a week layoff going into a big district basketball game.
After Tuesday night, Sequatchie coach Jason Smith can check that off his list as well.
After CCS scored the first four points of the game, Sequatchie went on a 23-4 run to end the quarter. They led by double-digits the rest of the way and went on to capture a 65-40 victory over the Chargers Tuesday in Sequatchie.
Daniel Cartwright led the Indians (17-2, 5-0) with 19 points, adding 11 assists and a trio of steals. Kegan Frederick scored 16. Brandon Arnold led the Chargers (12-8, 4-2) with 15 points.
The Indians hadn’t played since defeating Notre Dame on Jan. 10th, as a matchup last Friday against Whitwell was cancelled due to schools being out. Smith was slightly worried going into the game, but his team put those worries to rest by forcing 10 first-half turnovers, eight over that killer first-quarter stretch.
