The Fort Mill Lady Yellow Jackets continued their late-season surge with a resounding 46-20 victory over the visiting Indian Land Warriors Tuesday night. The win, their third consecutive, boosts their season record to 15-10 and solidifies their position within Region 3-5A with an impressive 8-3 mark.
From the opening tip, the Yellow Jackets asserted their dominance, particularly on the defensive end. They limited the Warriors to just a handful of scoring opportunities, showcasing a stifling full-court press and tenacious rebounding. Indian Land struggled to find any offensive rhythm, often forced into difficult shots and turnovers. Fort Mill’s defensive intensity set the tone for the entire game, allowing them to build a comfortable lead early on.
While the defense shone brightly, the Yellow Jackets also demonstrated offensive efficiency. They moved the ball with purpose, finding open players for high-percentage shots. A balanced scoring attack saw contributions from multiple players, preventing Indian Land from focusing on any single threat. Fort Mill’s ability to control the tempo of the game further contributed to their comfortable margin of victory.
This latest win marks a significant turnaround for the Yellow Jackets, who have now won three straight contests. Their improved play comes at a crucial time as they head into the final stretch of the regular season. The team’s cohesiveness and determination have been evident in recent games, suggesting they are peaking at the right moment.
The Yellow Jackets will look to carry their momentum into their final regular season game this Friday night, a highly anticipated crosstown rivalry matchup against the Nation Ford Falcons. With a strong finish to the season, Fort Mill hopes to secure a favorable seeding in the upcoming playoffs. The game against Nation Ford promises to be a thrilling contest, and the Yellow Jackets will need to bring the same intensity and focus they displayed against Indian Land to secure a victory. Tip-off is scheduled for 6:30 pm at Fort Mill High School.
