Bulldogs Get Teeth Into Panthers
JERSEYVILLE - Tucker Shalley was the only Panther in double figures with 11 as the Bulldogs outscored Jersey 57-22 in the last three quarters to take the 69-35 road win at Haven Gymnasium.
Highland was led by Jake Kruse’s 22 points and Sam LaPorta’s 11 as Highland held Panthers to only single figures in the second through fourth quarters.
Seth Churchman scored seven points for Jersey. Highland Bulldogs advance to 9-1.
Jersey head boys basketball coach Stote Reeder said his team started off in bad position, behind 8-0 after four turnovers, but then settled down and it was a 33-25 game at the half.
"Unfortunately, as a whole, it was not Jersey’s best game", the coach added. “It doesn’t matter how good or bad your defense is if you have the turnovers,” he said. “We would have to play close to perfect to beat Highland, they are a really good team.”
