No. 9 Southwest-Macon rebounded from a 64-56 loss on Tuesday to Effingham County to finish the Washington County Christmas Tournament with a 58-57 win over Jefferson County. The Patriots (9-3) were carried by the usual suspects: senior Justin Slocum and junior Nick Hargrove.

Freshman Jordan Slocum added 11 points. The elder Slocum is a name to keep an eye on throughout his final high school season. He is averaging 22.4 points, 12.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game. Hargrove is becoming a household name as well, going for 19.3 points and 5.3 assists on average.
