Nevada Celebrates Sr. Night with 81-43 Win over Hampton
Nevada- BJ Evans, Brycten Harris, Cardiare Adair, and Nijhae Nolan were celebrated earlier during  Senior Night festivities. Once the game was underway, it was all business for the Jays, and they put on a show as they soared away with a 38-point win over the Bulldogs. 

Kavion Coleman wasted zero time getting the scoring started as he scored 11 points in the opening quarter. Brycten Harris would then say it's my turn, scoring 10 points in the second quarter as the Jays took a 41-21 lead into the half. Then in the third quarter Nevada exploded for 29 points, as they outscored Hampton 29-12 in the third to put the game out of reach. 

The Jays would cruise to a 81-43 win and finish conference play with a 13-1 record. The defense in the second quarter was turned up a notch and the Jays limited second-chance opportunities for the Bulldogs, as the Jays put a stamp on a great regular season. Ten Blue Jays would score points in the game and the Blue Jays made 9 3-pointers in the game, as they shot well all game. 

Kavion Coleman would lead the way scoring for the Jays as he scored 27 points, had 13 boards, 3 assists, and 3 steals. Brycten Harris had 15 points, 6 assists, and 4 rebounds as he continues to be a great leader on the floor. Cardi Adair played great as he finished the game with 9 points and 8 rebounds. Justin Myrick scored 8 points for the Blue Jays and Kobe Hughey had 5 points. 

Brogan Rhodes, Nijhae Nolan, and BJ Evans all scored 4 points. Keyonte Wingfield scored 3 points, and Caleb Moss added 2 points. Great display of basketball on Friday night as the Jays will travel to Caddo Hills this Tuesday for a tune-up game before the conference tourney starts up in eight days. Nevada will host the District tourney.
