Surprising star leads J-Hawks over Panthers

ROCKFORD - Jefferson controlled the action throughout in a 48-33 win over East Moline United Township, but the leading man was a bit of a surprise.

Jefferson got a season-high 20 points from La'Juan Morris, all in the final three quarters.

The J-Hawks led 13-11 after one, stretchred it to six at halftime and led by 12 after three. Brenden Moss added 13 for the host J-Hawks, who went 3-0 in the Showcase and improved to 19-3 for the season.

Michael Merrick led United Township, which dropped two games Monday, with nine points.
