Undefeated Jacks overwhelm pesky Monarchs
THE LUMBERDOME — The No. 1 ranked and undefeated R.A. Long Lumberjacks continued to roll through their competition with a 77-55 win over Mark Morris at Joe Moses Court on Tuesday in the season’s first Civil War.
R.A. Long showcased its balanced offensive attack in the rivalry contest, which was of course set up by its hounding efforts on defense. Five Lumberjacks scored in the contest, and all of them reached double digits.
“We always have a guy who’s ready to get hot,” RAL head coach Jeray Key said. “We’ve got four guys averaging double figures right now… and when you wind up with five guys in double figures, that’s tough to beat.”
