On Sunday, Jehovah Jireh played Tensas in game one which came down to the wire in a 67-66 win for Tensas. Senior Grant Jackson led the way with 20. For JJ, Donald Johnson had 20 as well. Jakobey Hitchens had 6 in the first half before leaving with an injury to his ear. Freshman Jaron Davis struggled but still shows plenty of potential as a lead guard.
Next up was Lakeview taking on a feisty squad in St Pius X which was missing players due to football. 2017 guard for SPX Matthew Strange had 23 on 6 made 3s while Adrio Bailey led the way with 21 for Lakeview. Cameron Pottain added 12 but the story was the undersized SPX squad hanging around until late in the 4th when Lakeview pulled away to win 57-49.
The third game of the day was the talented Cedar Hill which competes routinely in Texas. They scored 64 in the 1st half on the way to a 92-46 route of Ville Platte. Cedar Hill will take on Lakeview in the title game at 6:45 tonight.
