Friday night brought forth the 2010 opener for the Sea Devils as well as their first conference game this season. USC Salkehatchie came to town looking to take down the defending Region X Co-Champions. The Sea Devils opened up the game rolling as they built a 14 point advantage and an 11 point halftime lead. However, this was that was the last bright spot for the Sea Devils as Salkehatchie came out of the locker room in the second half on fire. They cut the Sea Devils lead throughout the 2nd half and took the lead for good with 2:01 remaining in the contest. The Indians eventually won the game 80-69 and handed Cape Fear their 1st loss in the past 6 games. Freshman Vernon Payne lead the Sea Devils with 15 points while Tavares Speaks chipped in 14 points in the loss.

Cape Fear is back in action this Friday as they head to Denmark, SC to battle conference foe Denmark Technical Community College. The contest is slated for 7:00 p.m. Cape Fear returns home Sunday night as Caldwell Community College invades the Schwartz Center at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday night the CFCC Athletic Department will remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as they dedicate the game in his honor. Tuesday night's tip-off is set for 7:00 p.m. vs. Southern Tech in the Schwartz Center. For more information on the MLK celebration please visit http://mlkcelebration-senc.com/
