MORRISTOWN, TENN.- The Florida SouthWestern State Buccaneers tipped off their 2022-2023 season on the road in Morristown, Tennessee on Friday, shellacking the defending NJCAA National Tournament runners-up, Georgia Highlands by a count of 69-43 to get their campaign started off with a bang.
It was all FSW all afternoon on Friday as the Bucs jumped out to a 20-9 lead after one quarter of action and doubled the lead before the half as they went to the locker rooms up 40-19.
