The Cats defense kept Flora off the scoreboard in the final possession. Lyric Black led Salem with 10, Miking Ettress and Noah Nix had 9 each.
Salem’s freshmen then dominated the first half in their win over the Flora freshmen 31-15 as Salem led 17-5 at the halftime break with Ayden Rose scoring all 14 of his points in the opening 2 quarters. Colton Starnes finished with 6 and Owen Becker added 5. The Salem Freshmen will host Nashville Saturday morning at B.E. Gum.
