WILLIAMSBURG \u2014 South Laurel put together a strong fourth-quarter surge to rally past Whitley County 58\u201354 on Friday, improving the Cardinals to 1-1 in 50th District play and 9\u20138 overall. Whitley County slipped to 1\u20131 in district action and 13\u20135 on the season.
The Cardinals had to overcome a double-digit deficit, but never backed down and found their rhythm when it mattered most.
Whitley County led 12\u201311 after the first quarter, but South Laurel edged ahead 22\u201321 at halftime. 
The Colonels regained control in the third quarter, building a 38\u201332 advantage entering the final period.
South Laurel flipped the script in the fourth quarter behind a big performance from Garrison Brown, who scored 10 points in the period. 
Brown knocked down two 3-pointers and converted all four of his free throw attempts as the Cardinals closed strong. Kaden Taylor added six points in the quarter while Brayden Cassidy and Brendan Murphy each scored four points apiece and Blayne Baker chipped in two points.
Brown finished with a team-high 19 points, hitting five three-pointers in the win. Taylor added 14 points, and Cassidy finished with 10.
Whitley County was led by Tootie Mahan with 20 points while Henry Bowling added 13. Levi Jackson and Garrett Sharp chipped in nine points apiece.
South Laurel coach Jeff Davis said the win was an important one for his team\u2019s confidence.
\u201cThis is a game we needed for our confidence and it took a team effort,\u201d he said. \u201cGuys didn\u2019t give up and kept battling and grinding. We had some guys step up and make some plays. We just have to keep getting better each day. Really proud of our guys.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
