Battery Creek 78, Military Magnet 32: Senior center April Meyer picked up where she left off last season, scoring a game-high 18 points to lead Battery Creek over Military Magnet in the first round of the Mazzanna's Lawn Service BC Classic at Battery Creek High School.
"We're hoping it's going to be a special year," Battery Creek coach Wilbert Bryant said. "Tonight, we took our first step. I was very proud of how the girls responded, stayed focused and put the game away."
Katrece Daniels had 18 points, Rebekka Jones had nine and Kierra Wright added nine. Sarah Rivers paced Military Magnet with 13. The Dolphins led 40-16 at halftime.
Battery Creek (1-0) will face Goose Creek in the second round of the tournament at 6 p.m. Friday at Battery Creek High School. Goose Creek defeated Colleton County in the first round 48-36.
Box Hill (Australia) 67, Hilton Head Prep 31: One of Australia's best teams sent the Dolphins to their second loss of the young season.
Prep outscored Box Hill 14-7 in the second quarter, but the squad from Melbourne -- on a 10-game visit to the United States -- had little trouble besides that.
"We played poorly, and we're still short-handed," said Prep coach Bob Sulek.
Kathleen Blum had 13 points and five steals to lead the way for Prep (0-2). Becky DeRose scored 12 points, Jamese Franklin had a team-high 10 rebounds and Chris Quinn added six boards.
The Dolphins now have more than a week off, returning to action Dec. 5 at home against Hammond School.

Battery Creek 74, Academic Magnet 42: Javari Albergotti scored 20 points, leading Battery Creek to a win over Academic Magnet in the first round of the Mazzanna's Lawn Service BC Classic at Battery Creek High School.
Justen Rogers also had a big night, scoring 16 in the Dolphins' first game of the season.
"We looked really good in the full-court and really struggled in the half-court," Battery Creek coach John Drafts said. "Academic Magnet played very hard and stayed in the game early. I think we kind of out-athleted them in the end."
Norman Jenkins and Brent Evans each scored seven for the Dolphins and Chris Thomas contributed six. Mike Mitchell led Academic Magnet with 16.
The Dolphins (1-0) will face Wade Hampton in the second round of the tournament at 7:30 p.m. on Friday at Battery Creek High School.

After falling behind 21-3 in the first quarter, the Dolphins were able to regroup and compete against Box Hill the rest of the way, but the deficit was too much to overcome.
Dominic DiGenova led Hilton Head Prep with 18 points and Matt Layman contributed nine.
For Box Hill, DeJan Kostur had 19 points and Josh Wilcher contributed 14. The Dolphins (0-1) will host Hammond School out of Columbia at 8 p.m. on Dec. 5.
