LOCAL SPORTS PREP BASKETBALL Hit and miss On and off the field for Sumter in 68-53 victory over Bruins BY EDDIE LITAKER Special to The Sumter Item

When you’re hot, you’re hot, and when you’re not, you’re not. Those old Jerry Reed song lyrics pretty much described Thursday’s Region VI-5A varsity boys basketball game in a 68-53 Sumter win over South Florence at the SHS gymnasium. SHS head coach Shawn Jones can embrace that phi- losophy, as long as his team is playing good defense. “When we hit shots, I don’t think there’s anybody that can beat us,” Jones said. “When we’ve got the offense going, and those types of things.
