John Horgan’s 20 paced the Jays, but it was his three in the final seconds of half one that gave his team some momentum into halftime. The triple broke a 25-25 tie and Jamestown built a 10-point lead early in the second and never trailed again.

Both teams host Minot this week and then Turtle Mountain on Saturday.
