Arusha Hunter scored 19 of his game-high 23 in the second half and added eight rebounds and three assists. Mekhail Bethea netted 22 points and collected three assists and four steals. Justin Goodson canned four three-pointers and finished with 21 points and four rebounds.

Team Forrest ends Georgia Cup season with 15U crown

In the second half, Cam Armstrong and Asher McGee came alive for Team Forrest, scoring 12 & 13 second half points respectively. That effort outlasted Barnes and the Stars, winning the game 54-50 for Team Forrest.
