Coming off a disappointing quarterfinal loss to Oneida Baptist in the 13th Region All “A” Classic, the Middlesboro Yellow Jackets bounced back Tuesday with a 56-43 win at Barbourville in a game added to the schedule after the early tournament exit.
Senior guard Cayden Grigsby hit three 3-pointers and led the Jackets with 17 points. Senior center Trey King added 11 points and 12 rebounds. Brayden Barnard chipped in with eight points, while Peyton Turner and Jerimah Beck added six each. Bryce Bowling and Jack Smith contributed five and three points, respectively.
The 6-7 Yellow Jackets return to action Friday in a girls/boys doubleheader at Harlan County.
