GRC Boys Basketball
Following a 70-61 win over Great Crossing in which Jerone Morton and Tyleik Maxwell each scored 16 points and Tanner Walton had 10 rebounds, the Cards (21-1) extended their win streak to 15 games in a victory against East Jessamine (3-20). Notably, this was the first time they entered triple digits on the scoreboard following a 100-38 win. Jerone Morton led the way with 20 points, while Armaan Manak had a season-high 13 points. Sam Parrish, Stanley Smothers, Tanner Walton, and Sammy Hernandez each came up with 6 rebounds.

Later this week, the Cards will be at home against Scott (3-16), followed by a Saturday matchup with John Hardin (15-6) in Winchester. This will be a battle between two first place teams, as the Bulldogs currently hold the top spot in the 5th Region. On Monday, they’ll take on the highly-respectable Frederick Douglass Broncos (12-11).
