The South Bulldogs would love to be champions of the City League division that bears its name.
The Bulldogs, under head coach Ramon Spears, a former assistant of the Bates brothers Michael at Africentric and Jason at Walnut Ridge, have made strides in just three years.
South has gone from one win all the way to 13 wins and currently third in the City South behind Eastmoor Academy and Africentric after Friday night’s 60-50 win over Walnut Ridge.
The key to the game was the Scots only scoring five points in the second quarter. Single-digit quarters have hampered the Scots all year.
Christopher Byrd and Aaron Mullins led the Bulldogs with 14 and 12 points respectively.
Rob Wheelwright led the Scots with 15.
South is 13-5, 7-5 while the Scots drop to 10-8, 6-6 good for fifth place in a division that they’ve dominated the past two years.
