Sub region play resumes when Greenbrier (1-0) plays Grovetown (0-1) Friday and Lakeside (1-0) Saturday. Cross Creek (0-1) faces Evans (0-1) Friday and Grovetown (0-1) Saturday.

Special note: The second part of the game report video above features a trio of particularly high scorers: Alleluia's Mac McBride, Hayden Hebert, and Ben Dresser. The trio combined to score 87 points in Saturday's 102-87 win over the Gwinnett Barons.

The Angels get special mention here because the team's 5 players who joined three Greenbrier players (including Hartfield and Nelson) and Cross Creek's Moses Jones on the first Team AugBball AAU squad last Spring and Summer were in attendance at Tuesday's game to support their friends.
