On the road to state: Crestwood Boys Basketball looks to make history

For the first time in program history, the Crestwood Knights will make an appearance in the South Carolina High School League Basketball finals. As of this post, the team will have already made their trip down to the University of South Carolina Aiken where they'll face upper state challenger Wren High School Friday afternoon at 2 p.m.

Crestwood head coach Aric Samuel isn't a stranger to this pressure. In his last two coaching positions with Hunter-Kinard-Tyler and Hartsville he earned program first state titles as well. Friday should be another day in the office.
