JAMESTOWN – On day two of the Jim Riggs Classic, the Jamestown Community College men's basketball team was able to hold off WVU Potomac State with a 70-67 win Sunday evening.

The Jayhawks (5-7) were led offensively by freshman Jared Martin (Norwich, CT/Springfield Commonwealth Academy) with 18 points while guard Chad Chambers (Calera, AL/Calera HS) and Elgin Oliver (Pittsburgh, PA/Gateway Senior HS) added 14 and 10 points respectively. Martin also got it done on the glass, grabbing nine rebounds (3 offense, 6 defense).

In the early minutes of the first half, JCC found themselves in a 12-3 deficit but slowly clawed themselves back into the game. The Jayhawks responded by going on a 13-0 run which was capped off by a three-pointer from Martin off the feed from Oliver and later a three-pointer from Chambers to make it 16-12.

The teams battled back-and-forth for the remainder of the half before JCC scored seven unanswered as time was expiring which included five points from Chambers to make it 28-22.

Starting the second half, the Jayhawks continued to fire on all cylinders, gaining a lead by as many as 21. JCC used a 17-4 run to gain the advantage where Martin took over, scoring 13 points including three three-pointer in that stretch.

The Catamounts did not go away quietly, though, going on an 18-5 run to close the game but the Jayhawks were able to close it out.

JCC went 27-for-70 (38.6 percent) from the field with WVU Potomac State going 21-for-54 (38.9 percent) from the floor. The Jayhawks had the advantage on the glass, grabbing 47 rebounds to the Catamounts' 36 rebounds.
