2/13 at Savannah 51, Chillicothe 49 (Conference Game)
     Chillicothe had some last second heroics but it wasn't quite enough win, losing at Savannah 51-49. Alex Singleton hit three straight treys in the fourth quarter to close the game to just one point with 2.7 seconds left. A Hornets foul before the ball was in play sent Savannah to the line. After making the first shot, Savannah missed the second. The Hornets grabbed the rebound but a half court shot careened off the glass, ending the game. Savannah hit the first nine points of the contest and led the entire game. The Savages' zone defense and low post play force Chillicothe to shoot from the outside, going 9 of 23 from behind the arc for the game.

 2/24 at Savannah 45, Chillicothe 44 (Districts)
      A record setting performance was overshadowed by a bizarre ending that gave Savannah a 45-44 win over Chillicothe in a district game in Savannah. Colin Parker hit his fourth trey of the game in the third quarter, giving him the school single-season 3-point record with 58 treys. However, it was a 9-1 run by Savannah in the final 40 seconds that cost Chillicothe the game.
     Down by 7, Savannah’s Travis Partridge hit a shot with 40 seconds left and was fouled, narrowing the lead to five. Partridge missed the free throw but got the rebound and stick-back, closing it to three points. Savannah forced a Chillicothe back court turnover, then in-bounded the ball to Partridge who made another shot with 19 seconds left to close the game to 1 point. With six seconds left, Savannah was whistled for fouling Colin Parker; however Parker was also immediately hit with a technical foul. Parker hit one free throw to make it a two point game then Partridge hit one of two technical free throws to make it a one point game again. Savannah in-bounded the ball off the technical, and Partridge hit a shot with half a second left to give the Savages the win thanks to nine Partridge points and two late officials whistles against Chillicothe.
