Jamestown Wins Holiday Classic!


Our program experienced yet another Championship Game victory, after beating the home team University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire last night, 85-76 on their home floor.


This is our second tournament championship this season, as we also won the Northwestern College (MN) tournament in mid-November.

Senior Jake Holen led the way for the Jimmies, as he scored 31 points on 8-12 shooting (4-7 3pt FG and 11-12 from the FT Line). He was also named tournament MVP!

Senior Kyle Iverson added 9 points and 6 rebounds, and was named to the All-Tournament Team.

Sophomore John Peabody was given the "Fireman Award" by the tournament committee, for his work as the best "Non-Starter" of the tournament.


Our team now holds a 10-5 overall record.

Happy New Year!
