When Prep pulled to within one 49-48 on a layup by Junior guard Paul Jorgenson, Hester hit a tough pull up to put them up 51-48! Joe’s never lost the lead! Georgia Tech football commit Ricky Jeune(left) was more than a star wide receiver as he was the backbone of St. Joe’s interior defense making it very tough for Prep’s 6’6 Junior Tom Sweeny who was held to 8 points! Jeune scored 13 points and grabbed 15 rebounds with 8 coming from the offensive end! Junior Quai Jefferson (10 pts)made free throws late for St. Joe’s to help keep Prep at bay! St. Joe’s did a lot of this with their best player Senior Pat Mensah in foul trouble!
