Blue Jays Beat Friendship-Aspire, Improve to 10-1 in conference
Nevada- Nevada (23-7) hosted Friendship-Aspire on Friday night at "The Nest" for a conference matchup. Nevada would get going early on and cruise to a decisive 89-15 victory, as the defense was stingy, allowing no easy buckets available for the Warriors. 

The offense was very spread out Friday night for the Jays as 10 Blue Jays scored in the game and four players were in double-figures. Brycten Harris posted a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds, Harris would fall just short of a triple-double as he also dished out 8 assists. Kavion Coleman finished the game with 16 points, 5 assists, and 4 rebounds. Keyonte Wingfield added 13 points, 7 assists, and 5 steals. Justin Myrick scored 10 points for Nevada, grabbed 3 rebounds, and swiped 3 steals. Cardi Adair added 8 points and 6 boards, Brogan Rhodes had 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 steals, Caleb Moss finished with 7 points, 5 boards, 3 assists, and 3 steals. BJ Evans added 5 points, Kobe Hughey 4 points, and Nihjae Nolen added 2 points. 

The Blue Jays are sitting atop the conference standings at 10-1, as the magic number for the Jays to clinch the 1-seed for the conference tourney is two games. Nevada has three games this week, as they travel to Emerson on Tuesday, host Hermitage on Thursday, and host Hampton on Friday. 

The Junior Boys and Junior Girls also both won their games on Friday.
