Final per the scoreboard.

Jackets fell behind by 21 points in the first half and managed to get it back to 14 at half. Adjustments at halftime and better intensity cut the lead to 4 points in the 4th, but Danville hit FT's down the stretch to hang on for their 4th straight win (after winning the Berea Tip-Off this past weekend). This is a very balanced and athletic Admirals team, which placed 5 players in double figures. The Jackets held Woolridge to 14 points (averaging 23 points) and Spencer McKinney scoreless. Jackets are improving. They were sick last week against GRC with flu and strep throughout the team.

 

Led tonight by Tyler Newton's 24 points on 7-14 shooting, including 6 for 11 from 3-pt. range (3 were NBA line). He's continued his high FT% with 15 for 18 after three games. Ben Duncan has been very consistent, chipping in 10 points and barely missing a double-double with 9 rebounds. As Devin Trussell wears off the rust from 2 years off and becomes more consistent (16 points against Harrison Co.), the Jackets will have the three scorers they need night in and night out. Elijah Barnett has to be more active and crank up his motor for them to reach their season goals of the 10th Region tournament. They have started with 6A Clark, 4A Harrison, and now a "hot" Danville team. No patsies on this schedule. Augusta up next at home on Thursday.
