Men’s Basketball Wins Big Over Anderson

SPARTANBURG, SC- The Spartanburg Methodist College Pioneers took home a 33-point win Thursday night over Anderson University's junior varsity team.

The Pioneers played a full 20 minutes in the first half of their last non-conference game of the season, to a commanding 52-32 lead.

 "It was a great start. Our guys really came out focused and were determined after coming off a difficult loss last Friday to Catawba Valley," said coach Rob Burke.

The Pioneers gave up only 25 points total in the second half while stretching their margin.

"Darion Canty had another solid performance for us. He has led us in just about every way he can on and off the floor," said Burke.

The Pioneers look to get off to a 1-0 start as they open up Region X play against Brunswick Community College on Saturday at 3 PM.

Spartanburg Methodist College has 14 intercollegiate teams that compete in Region X of the National Junior College Athletic Association, which includes colleges in the Carolinas, Virginia, and West Virginia. The College is in its 99th year of providing quality education to students in a Christian environment.  More than 90 percent of SMC graduates continue their education at other institutions of higher learning.
