The Warriors are tipping off 2018 riding the high of a seven-game winning streak that was punctuated Friday by a resounding 58-44 victory against host St. Augustine in the championship game of the Purple Knight Classic played at Watson Jones Memorial Gym.
Junior wings Damiree Burns and Greg Hammond scored 18 and 15 points, respectively, and the Warriors defense held St. Augustine scoreless for the first 7½ minutes of the third period to complete a 4-0 run to the tournament championship.
