MANCHESTER — Nate Valentine’s North Laurel Jaguars recovered from their lone loss by going on the road and picking up their first 49th District win of the season.
The Jaguars (4-1) used a 23-4 run in the first quarter and never looked back during their, 77-29, victory over the Mountaineers.
“I’m glad we could get our first district win of the season on the road tonight,” Valentine said. “Our defensive effort was very good. Offensively, our ball movement and spacing were really good. We got a lot of contributions from different guys.”
North Laurel shot 30-of-54 from the floor, including a 6-of-14 effort from 3-point territory. The Jaguars connected on 11-of-13 shot attempts from the free-throw line while outrebounding Oneida Baptist, 38-18. Valentine’s team only had four turnovers while forcing the Mountaineers into 13.
Reece Davidson recorded a double-double, finishing with 21 points, 12 rebounds, and five assists. He hit 7-of-11 shot attempts while connecting on 6-of-7 shot attempts from the free-throw line.
RJ Noble finished with 12 points, five rebounds and three assists while Corey Cunagin tallied 10 points and four rebounds. Jordan Rawlings hit two 3-pointers and finished with 10 points.
North Laurel will be back in action Monday at home against Red Bird.
