With the game tied at 69-69, Golson drove the left baseline and elevated above the defender to give the Seahawks a two-point advantage with 15 seconds remaining.  Socastee's Zack Slocum threw the ball away on the ensuing inbound pass and Golson was fouled as he drove the lane.  Golson stepped to the line with five seconds remaing and sank both free throws to seal the victory.

Golson added nine rebounds and six assists to his game-high 26 points.  Timothy Jones tallied 13 points for Myrtle Beach (2-7), while Tramond Wilson and Steven Cobb added 12 and 11 points, respectively.

Slocum came off of the Socastee (4-7) bench to lead the Braves with 18 points on 6-of-8 shooting from the field, including 4-of-6 from behind the arc.  Ty Sessions added 16 points and Tyrieke Morton grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds for the Braves.
