Jamestown Community College’s men’s basketball team was in need of a confidence boost heading into the Thanksgiving break, and they found it through hot shooting in a 112-50 win over Onondaga CC on Sunday.

Jamestown CC opened up a quick 10-point lead behind the slick scoring of freshman Marcus Wynter, whose fastbreak layup made it 19-9. Wynter led all scorers with 22.

Halfway through the half, Jamestown saw its edge swell to 30-15 behind another transition layup, this one by Federico Foddai, who dropped 21 points on the day.

Onondaga would cut the deficit down to nine at the 3:07 mark, with Jamestown CC up 36-27 there, but the Jayhawks answered with another run.

Foddai buried a pair of 3s, then Tamir Barrant picked the pocket of a Blazer and finished with a bucket to make it 45-27 Jamestown CC. Barrant had 14 on the afternoon.

Jamestown CC took a 45-29 advantage to the break.

In the second, it was more of the same for Jamestown CC; Travis Castro opened the second stanza with back-to-back 3s. He also finished the day with 21 points.

In all, Jamestown CC had five players reach double- digits, with Joey Valerio joining the fun with 10 points.

On Saturday, Jamestown CC opened its home schedule with undefeated Garrett College coming to town, and a slow start stymied any chance Jamestown CC had in the 89-66 loss.

The Lakers kept the pressure up, taking a 25-4 advantage to the midway point of the first half.
