Jordan Saylor exploded for a season-high 24 points and the Grant County Braves hit 10 3-pointers in an impressive 80-51 victory over visiting cross-town rival Williamstown on Jan. 20 at the Coaches vs. Cancer event.

Local athletes and teams were well represented in the latest release of the Kentucky High School Athletic Association boys’ stat leaders.
Williamstown’s David Jump, who recently joined the school’s 1,000-point club, ranks fifth in Kentucky in points per game with an average of 25.9 per contest. Brent Back of Augusta leads Kentucky at 29.1 points per game.
Jump, a senior guard, is also among the state’s best free throw shooters, hitting over 80 percent (98-of-122) from the charity stripe.

If they didn’t get the hint before the game, Calvary Christian certainly got the message during the game that Williamstown’s David Jump is a special player.
Just moments after being honored in a pre-game ceremony for becoming the newest member of the Williamstown High School 1,000-point club, Jump put on a show against the visiting Cougars with 36 points in a 76-37 Williamstown win.

While the transition to a new coach in Brandon Grammer, has not come easy for the Grant County Braves, things are finally starting to click. The Braves’ most recent game against district rival Walton-Verona is proof of that.

Playing what Grammer calls his team’s most complete game to date, Grant County led from start to finish in a 63-48 win over visiting Walton-Verona on Jan. ?. The Braves placed four players in double digits and played an aggressive defense that has the new coaching staff excited about the potential of the team the rest of the way.
