In front of a packed crowd in the Edwards Center, JCA's boys basketball team defeated Calvary Baptist (New Bern) 60-46. This was Calvary's first loss this season and broke a 42-game winning streak which dated back to 2007. JCA jumped out to an early lead, fueled by strong defense and solid rebounding. R J Mantlo led the team with 18 boards and 12 points. Satch Tucker added 10 & 6 and Matthew Morton had 6 & 5. Senior Robert Murphy led all scorers with 18 points, Jacob Haggard had 10 and Andrew Jackson had 7 to go along with his energetic defense. Both teams were in foul trouble at the half, and the Conquerors' bench played very well when called upon. The win raised JCA's record to 5-5 (3-2, conf). The girls varsity team also won Tuesday, raising their record to 7-2 (4-1, conf). Both teams will next be in action this Friday vs Gramercy (home). This time it will be the Lady Conquerors who will have the opportunity to snap a long winning streak by the visiting team. JV games will start at 4PM, varsity games to follow. Come out and cheer on all of our teams to victory!
