Jayvee boys scratch out win


The Halifax County High School boys’ jayvee basketball scratched out a 49-48 win at Heritage Monday.

The contest was tied with 20 seconds left. Jarvis Owens got fouled, and he sank one of two for the game winning points. Heritage tried one last desperation heave, to no avail.

Halifax improved to 1-2, with Martinsville home. The Comets go to Bassett Friday.

Coach John Lantor said the Comets executed their offense better and played very good help defense.

HCHS finished a busy week, with Martinsville at home Wednesday and Bassett on the road Friday.
