Basketball Recap: Jefferson Now 13-3 over Last 16 Games

Jefferson had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They blew past the Peach County Trojans 65-45 on Saturday. Given the Dragons' advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia basketball rankings (they are ranked 69th, while the Trojans are ranked 205th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Jefferson has been performing well recently as they've won 13 of their last 16 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 63.1 points over those games. Peach County's loss dropped their record down to 11-17.

Looking ahead, Jefferson will challenge Monroe on Wednesday. Monroe will roll in looking for their sixth straight victory, something Jefferson surely won't give up without a fight. Peach County does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
