Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Medford Tech). They pulled ahead with a 75-74 photo finish over the Cinnaminson Pirates on Monday. The win was all the more spectacular given the Jaguars' disadvantage in MaxPreps' New Jersey basketball rankings (they are ranked 191st, while the Pirates are ranked 50th).
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Medford Tech to victory, but perhaps none more so than Daquan Stratton, who dropped a double-double on 19 points and ten boards. Stratton is trending in the right direction considering he's improved his point production for three straight games. The team also got some help courtesy of Nesta Rice, who posted 21 points and five assists.
