SOUTH WEBSTER — The St. Joseph Flyers like the Three Musketeers who preached “All for one and one for all.”
The Flyers used a total team effort as they rolled past the South Webster Jeeps 59-40 on Saturday in a non-league game.
“We moved the ball great tonight and our defense was very good. We held their leading scorer to seven points,” said Flyers’ coach Chris Barnes.
“J.C. had a great game. Jackson got hot and helped get us a lead. We just moved the ball well and played well together. We only had four turnovers. We were solid all four quarters.”
J.C. Damron scored 28 points and Jackson Rowe hit four 3-pointers and scored 14 points to lead the Flyers (6-2).
Jaren Lower and Cam Carpenter scored 11 points each for the Jeeps (5-5).
The Flyers went on an 8-0 run to start the game that began with a Rowe 3-pointer and ended on a foul shot by Damron after a steal by Jared Johnson.
Conner Bender hit a 12-footer to get the Jeeps within 13-0 but a short jumper from the middle of the lane by Matt Sheridan and a trifecta by Rowe with 23 seconds left in the quarter put the Flyers up 18-11.
St. Joseph was up 20-16 when Jimmy Mahlmeister hit a layup, Sheridan drained a triple and Mahlmeister hit a 17-foot fade away jumper for a 27-16 lead.
Damron then made a layup to make it 29-16 before Carpenter’s 3-pointer made it 29-19 at the break.
The Flyers were up 32-25 when they scored 11 unanswered points to go up 43-25. Trae Zimmerman picked up a loose ball and hit a short jumper at the buzzer and the Jeeps were down 43-27.
Two foul shots by Mahlmeister and another triple by Rowe made it 48-27.
Damron had a layup and a 3-poitner and the lead was 55-33 with 4:02 to play.
The Flyers play at Green on Tuesday.
