Despite trailing the entire game, the Jackals (1-5 Upper Midwest Division) had a chance to tie or take the lead late in Sunday’s 90-86 nonleague loss to the Albany Patroons (5-1 Northeast Division), but came up empty on both possessions.

Albany took an 88-84 lead on Josue Salaam’s three-point play with 1:14 remaining. Jamestown’s D’Mauria Jones made a layup at the other end of the floor to make it 88-86 and the Patroons turned the ball over on their next trip, but the Jackals missed at the other end. After Albany’s James Currington made 1-of-2 free throws, Jamestown came up empty on its next possession.

The Patroons then missed a pair of free throws, but Derrick Rowland Jr. grabbed an offensive rebound and put the game away with a foul shot.

Salaam led five Albany players in double figures with 20 points. Trevis Wyche had 18 points and seven assists; Currington had 14 points, 18 rebounds, four steals and three blocked shots; Philip Flory had 13 points; and Rowland had 11 points.

Brandon McGhee, Joshua Dominguez and TyQuane Goard had 11 points apiece for the Jackals, while Daniel Mulamba grabbed 10 rebounds and Calvin Cheek had six assists. Eleven of the 12 players who played for Jamestown found the scoring column.

Salaam’s 3-pointer gave Albany a 7-0 lead early. The Patroons led 20-12 after the first quarter and Jamestown got within two twice in the second quarter on a free throw by Goard and a later free throw from Roderick Finley, but Albany’s advantage ballooned to 13 by halftime.

The Jackals got their deficit down to three in the third quarter on a Tafari Beckford layup, but Albany got its lead back up to 12 at the start of the fourth quarter.

On Friday night, Glass City’s Christopher Darrington gave the Wranglers a five-point lead on a 3-pointer with 1:11 remaining and Cheek missed a tying 3-point attempt with 7.5 seconds left as Glass City escaped with a 96-94 Upper Midwest Division win.

The Wrangers (6-1 Upper Midwest Division) went 14 of 37 (40.5%) from 3-point range while the Jackals were just 6 of 34 (17.6%).

Glass City entered the fourth quarter with a 69-66 lead and the Wranglers’ lead grew to as many as 12 three times on Anthony Carmon 3-pointers before Jamestown began its comeback.

McGhee made a floater with 5:34 left to make it 87-77 and then made a layup 30 seconds later. McGhee sank another floater with 4:30 left to make it an 87-81 game. Cheek eventually made it 89-84 and McGhee made it 89-86 with 3:39 remaining.

After a Glass City turnover, Cheek made a layup to make it a one-point game. Darrington then made a free throw to give the Wranglers a 90-88 lead, but Beckford tied the game for the Jackals on a layup with 2:04 left. Marlon Sierra then gave Glass City a two-point lead with a pair of foul shots with 1:48 remaining before Darrington’s 3-pointer in the closing minutes gave the Wranglers a two-possession lead they would not relinquish.
