Final from Albany.  Somerset goes on the road and knocks off the Bulldogs.  Sophomore Marcus Jones wins it on a putback with 5 seconds to go.  I'm not sure if it was the final tally, but at one point the foul count was 22 against Somerset, and 5 against Clinton County.  

This is a big time win for Somerset, to win on the road at Clinton. I see you Jumpers! 

Kole Grundy being out the last 2 games has allowed some younger kids to play.  Could be a silver lining to try and build some depth on a slim bench.  Jones is one of the more improved guys in the region.  Never saw the floor in MS ball.

Even more impressive to win at Clinton County if Grundy didn't play.  Marcus has been key for them in so many games this season.  It seems like he always finds his way to an open spot on the block anytime someone penetrates and finishes when they get him the ball.  He did it twice in a matter of minutes against Southwestern during a Briar Jumper run.  Same thing against DCA earlier.  

He's grown so much as a player.....and just grown period.  I remember when he and my youngest nephew would go to the football games with my parents back in 2019 following my older nephew, who was a senior tackle on that team.  If me and my daughter tagged along Marcus and my nephew would climb in 3rd seat in the back of my parent's Santa Fe.  My nephew is about 6'1" 250 now and Marcus just keeps growing.  I don't think we could fit those 2 in the 3rd row seats anymore.  

Great win. Clinton is a tough place to win during an average year and they are having a great year.
