Prior to their last start, standout Keonte Potts was averaging 23 points a game for the Eagles. Centennial boys’ basketball can be followed at www.centennialeaglesbasketball.org.
The good news for the Chapelgate (8-4, 3-2) boys’ basketball team is a return home after their Christmas break to resume their 2011-2012 campaign. The bad news is that the return to the court is against one of their toughest opponents of the season in the Gilman Greyhounds (7-3, 4-0). Undefeated in the MIAA-B, Gilman also has knocked off Calvert Hall of the MIAA-A, in a game that saw Alabama football coach Nick Saban in attendance. Saban was there to watch Gilman shooting guard Cyrus Jones, an All-American on the gridiron this fall. Jones and his fellow Greyhounds will face the Yellowjackets tonight at 5 PM.
The Yellowjackets’ JV team is 8-1 overall and 5-0 in-conference. They also face Gilman this week.
