Southside Goes Back to Back (Greenville News Story)

Southside entered 2017-18 as the defending state champions and clear cut team to beat in Class AAA.  They returned four starters from the 16-17 title team and lost only one senior off that team.  Junior Center Jamal Burke, who played a minimal role in 16-17, blossomed into an All-State performer and the Tigers went unbeaten within the state of South Carolina this season.  In the playoffs, Southside marched through the Upper State bracket and faced Ridgeland-Hardeeville in the championship game.  RJ Campbell paved the way scoring 20 points and grabbing 8 boards as the Tigers went back to back.
