The # 4 SMCC Men’s Basketball team hosted #5 VTC in the quarterfinal round of the YSCC Elite 8 Tournament. The game was back and forth with SM pulling ahead with 6 minutes remaining, however, VTC pulled within 3 making it a nail biting finish. Bode Meader’s late game clutch free throws sealed the win with a 62-60 Victory. This dramatic finish would send SM with momentum to play their arch rival CMCC in Auburn. The Seawolves did just that, they upset the Mustangs and held on to beat the Herons to win back to back YSCC championships.

The team, then traveled a familiar road back to Petersburg Virginia to compete for the National Championship. The team did not make it past the first-round game but not without a fight. It was tied up at the half and they closed a gap in the second half but could not convert late in the game. SM would return home, without a repeat National championship title. Congratulations to Gorham’s Bode Meader, making a great run during his two-year career with the Sea Wolves.
