The 50th home season for the Bloomington Jefferson boys basketball team began Tuesday night and the Jaguars were hounded by Gabe Bassett's 12 points that led the Farmington Tigers to a 55-42 win.
Both teams were slow in scoring in the early going. The Jaguars took the early lead on Alex Schilling's three pointer 1:42 into the first half. Schilling was the bright spot for Jefferson, scoring their first five points but the Tigers used a balanced scoring attack as six orange and white clad players entered the scorebook. Farmington would forge ahead with a 9-0 run that was ended by Jefferson's Sam Wanzek. Then Bassett started to hit shots from France Ave. as he would sink three three pointers in the first half. But the Jaguars would make a late run at the Tigers near the end of the half as Ryan Schrank scored six consecutive points that included a three pointer at the buzzer to cut the halftime lead to 24-21.
Farmington would begin the second half on a 4-0 run as Max Darrington and Jake Cochnauer would tally. They would also get a three point play from Jackson Todd. Defense would be beneficial for the Jaguars as Evan Lind blocked two shots. They would also get four straight points from Aiden Atkins but they couldn't catch up to Farmington.
The Tigers improved their record to 2-1 and host the Minnetonka Skippers on Friday, December 13 at 7 PM. The Jaguars fell to 0-3 and will head down Highway 13 to New Prague on the 13th to take on the Trojans at 7 PM.
