JAMESTOWN -  In a rematch against WVU Potomac State College Sunday afternoon at the Post-Journal Classic, the Jamestown Community College men's basketball team fell 83-70.

 

The Jayhawks (1-9) were led by guard Clinique Jackson (Rochester, NY/East HS) with a career-high 24 points and nine rebounds (1 offense, 8 defense) with guard Jafar Yahuza (Staten Island, NY/Port Richmond) adding 20 points. Forward Traden Gray (Frewsburg, NY/Frewsburg HS) chipped in with 12 points.

Trailing by as many as 12 in the second half of action, the Jayhawks slowly chipped away at the deficit. Yahuza made it a two possession game with a three-pointer under 12 minutes in regulation to make it 49-43.

 

The Catamounts slowly took the game back over, gaining a lead of 18 points to help get the win.
