Beaufort High’s basketball teams faced a tough test in their home openers Monday, as visiting Ashley Ridge swept the night from the Eagles.

Briana Davidson and Kaylin Brown each scored 14 points to lead four Swamp Foxes in double digits, as Ashley Ridge rolled to a 79-19 win in the girls game.

Beaufort’s boys gave a scrappy effort against a strong Ashley Ridge squad, staying within striking distance for most of the game before falling, 60-49. Samari Bonds scored 12 points and grabbed six rebounds before fouling out, and Brandon Blackmon had 11 points and eight boards for the Eagles.

Beaufort hosts Whale Branch on Friday with the girls game slated for 6 p.m.
