Crusaders Knock Off the Owls

IMG_0050Trailing by one at the end of the third quarter, the Crusaders needed something to push momentum in their favor.  In the beginning of the fourth quarter, Brother Martin changed its defense to add more pressure to the ball handler.  The Owls started turning the ball over, and the Crusaders found themselves up by 10 with 4:30 left in the game.  With this constant pressure, the Owls couldn’t recover and fell 71-59 to the Crusaders.

Jalen Gray was the top scorer with 21 points, Jordan Cornish had 19 and Jabbar Singleton added 17. Brother Martin’s record is now 27-4, 6-2.

The JV team also won 52-38. They are now 17-1 for the season.

The Crusaders will play West Jefferson in a rematch on Friday night at 7:00 pm and JV at 5:45 pm.  This game is senior night also is the ONE event for the basketball team, so everyone come out and cheer on your Crusaders!
