JAYHAWKS WIN FIRST

ROCHESTER — Jamestown Community College’s men’s basketball team came home from the Monroe CC basketball tournament with a 1-1 record after topping Sullivan County CC 98-60 before falling to Cecil College 91-78.

A fantastic night of shooting the ball propelled the Jayhawks to the win over Sullivan. The Jayhawks shot 51.4% from the floor, including 52% from 3-point land.

Jamestown CC was led by freshman Travis Castro, who poured in a game-high 30 points with six makes from beyond the arc.Marcus Wynter (15), Federico Foddai (13), and Robert Russel (10) also hit double digits.

Wynter also led the team in rebounding with 11 to finish off a double-double.

The celebration was short-lived with a game against Cecil on deck.

The Jayhawks looked strong in the early going, building a lead as much as 18 in the first half, but attrition took them down as the Jayhawks only traveled eight guys for the tournament.

Foddai led the way with 22 points; Tamir Barrant was just behind with 20. Castro’s 17 and Gabriel Mastrosimone’s 11 rounded out those in double figures.

Wynter, again, had a double-double, this time adding 12 assists.
