The Jamestown Community College men’s basketball team made it five wins in their last six games as it took down Garrett College 92-81 on Wednesday afternoon.

This one came down to the simple fact that Jamestown was hot from all areas of the floor. The Jayhawks shot 47 percent from the field, 45 percent from the arc, and made 14 of 16 free throws in the 11-point win.

Jamestown CC jumped out to an early lead, going up 11-5 on a Marcus Wynter mid-range jumper. The sophomore finished with 16 points, one of five Jayhawks to hit double digits.

Garrett stormed back after that, putting together a 24-10 run to put Jamestown in a 29-21 hole.

That’s when the other four top scorers took over.

First up, Kayvone Craig buried a corner 3-pointer to make it 31-26. The sophomore finished with a team-high 21 points. Then it was Pietro Magni’s turn; the Italian had the game of his life, scoring a career-high 18 while passing out seven assists. The Jayhawks took the lead off of a jumper from another Italian, Federico Foddai, who scored 14 points. His two-pointer gave Jamestown a 51-50 advantage.

The Jamestown CC (10-5) lead swelled to 73-62 with Jodan Wright scoring two of his 15, followed by buckets by Magni and Craig. Another trey from Magni sealed the deal; the corner splash made it 90-73 with just over three minutes to play, and the Jayhawks never looked back.

The Jayhawks are back at home on Sunday at 2 p.m. against Orange County CC.
