West Jess storms back to take 46th district crown over Mercer Co. 59-44
The Colts use a 14-2 run in the fourth quarter and got 25 points from Hogan Price
NICHOLASVILLE, Ky. (WKYT) – West Jessamine trailed Mercer County by seven late in the third quarter and then erupted. The Colts outscored the Titans 30-11 in the final frame and won the 46th district crown 59-44.
Senior guard Hogan Price led the way for West Jess with a season-high 25 points but with an odd stat line. The ‘Price’ was right on two-point field goals going a perfect 7-for-7 but was 0-for-6 on three pointers. Price, however, cashed in at the free throw line shooting 11-of-12.
West Jessamine (19-12) rallied in the fourth quarter going on 14-2 run to take control.
Mercer County (16-13) had a balanced attack with Trevor Ellis with ten points, Sam Baughman and Seth Caton each had nine, with Evan Hart pitching in eight points.
