PREP ROUNDUP: West Point captures tournament crown
Published 9:40 pm Sunday, December 29, 2024
West Point knocked off Class 2A No. 5 Decatur Heritage 68-52 on Saturday to earn the title at its annual Christmas tournament.
Jay Lamar (22), Jaxon Shelton (19) and Maddox Chapman (11) each scored in double figures for the Warriors, who outpaced the Eagles 27-8 in the third quarter en route to improving to 14-4.
“I’m extremely proud of our resiliency this week,” West Point coach Mason Voce said. “We trailed at the half all three of our games but responded well each second half. This group is very fun to be around — it’s 11 guys who really care about the success of their teammates as much as themselves. They compete like dogs, but they also support and encourage one another with everything they have. They deserve a little reward for their hard work this week.”
