PER CURIAM:  Eric G. was adjudicated delinquent by
the family court.  He appeals the finding, arguing the court erred in denying

authorities:  State v. Turner, 373 S.C. 121, 126 n.1, 644 S.E.2d 693,
696 n.1 (2007) (holding in order for an issue to be preserved for review, it
must have been raised to and ruled upon by the trial court); In the Interest
of Bruce O., 311 S.C. 514, 515, 429 S.E.2d 858, 858 (Ct. App. 1993)
("A motion for a directed verdict should be denied when there is any
evidence, direct or circumstantial, which reasonably tends to prove the guilt
of the accused or from which the guilt of the accused may be fairly and
logically deduced.").

AFFIRMED.

PIEPER, GEATHERS, JJ., and
CURETON, A.J., concur.

[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to
Rule 215, SCACR.
