   The Jets were up 36 – 35 at half time and outscored Redline Prep 34 – 29 in the second half to take the 70 – 64 victory.  Only one starter for the Jets was in double-digits and that was Camarion Johnson, who led the team in scoring with 14 points.  Israel Momodu and Jaylen Woods came off the bench for the Jets to score 13 and 11 points respectively.  Daryl Bod also came off the bench and tossed in nine points.

   The Jets reserves scored 40 of the team’s 70 points.  Starter Justin Evans added six points, Mohand Ammad, Ryan Djoussa, and Jafeth Martinez had four points each.  Noah Barnett and Harley Kent closed out the scoring with three and two points respectively.

   The Jets will travel to Swainsboro on Wendesday, January 24th for a conference  match-up with East Georgia State College.  The Lady Jets open the double-head at 5:30 with the Jets to follow at 7:30. The Jets and lady Jets return home on Saturday for a conference double-header with Central Georgia Tech at 1 p.m. and at 3 p.m.
