The Curtis J. Phillips basketball team is now 3-1 all-time versus Jefferson's as they defeated them 47 to 31 on Tuesday night. In the previous three meetings between the two, the final scores were 48-44 CJP, 54-52 CJP and 36-45 Jefferson's. Tuesday night was no different for one half of basketball as Jefferson's slowed down the game and controlled the tempo. However CJP found themselves up by two at half time as the interior defense of Charles Morris, Lane Leedahl and Josh Lawrence kept the much taller Jefferson's players in check. As for the second half, CJP started to dissect Jefferson's defense and with about ten minutes to play three pointers by Matt Donnelly, Jim Hammen, James Lawrence and the aforementioned Leedahl busted the game open for CJP. That along with playing tough defense until the final minute, team CJP came away with first ever double-digit victory in the series match-up between the two teams.
Quotes
"Good win tonight against a big team that loves to ugly it up. Moved the ball really well and took quality shots. Also thoughts and prayers to Jefferson's team captain Jason Franklin, who was unable to play last night after slipping and falling on the ice....what an idiot." - CJP forward Jim Hammen
"Wonderful win tonight and here is to getting another next week." - CJP forward Daniel Sondreal
