Quitman Jr. High sweeps Saline 

Quitman 24 Saline 24 (boys) Sixth grader Joseph Delaney set a new season team mark and personal career best by hitting four three pointers en route to a team high 12 points to help Quitman Junior High gain revenge of the loss to Saline in the finals of the Dodson Tournament last Friday. The Wolverines evened their season slate to 3-3 with their third victory in the last four games. 

Elijah Calloway and Rylan Mauthe scored four each and Braiden Robinson added a basket to lift Saline to a 10-8 first quarter lead. Two trey’s by Delaney and two points from Eli Jackson kept it close. The Bobcats stretched the lead to 14-10 at the half with Calloway and Robinson hitting a bucket each and Hayden Seymore getting the only points for the Wolverines. 

A three pointer each from Delaney and Seymore and a basket by Kaleb Maxwell helped Quitman storm back to take a 18-16 lead after three in the defensive slugfest with Gavin Bellard making the only two points of the quarter for Saline. Calloway scored six and Bellard two in the final frame for the Bobcats but it wasn’t enough to offset Delaney’s fourth trey and four clutch points by Mathew Odom.
