KINGSTON-Tuesday night was a good night for the Kingston Yellow Jackets and Lady Jackets as both rolled to victories over visiting Sweetwater.

Sydney Nunley posted a huge double-double Tuesday, scoring 18 points and pulling down 18 rebounds in leading Kingston to the 28-point victory.

Nunley did have a big second quarter.

 She scored nine points while Harli-Blaine Oran added five and the trio of Alison Mossing, Taylor Thurman and Baggett scored four each in giving
the Lady Jackets a 44-24 lead at halftime. Raven Jefford tried to keep Sweetwater close as she buried two three-pointers and scored 15 points in the first half.

Sweetwater played better in the third quarter,
but they couldn't make a run at Kingston as the Lady Jackets took the frame 10-9 to make the score 54-33 with eight minutes left to play. Kingston put the finishing

Kingston's Jordan Huddleston got off to a quick state Tuesday. He scored eight points in leading Kingston to a 13-8 lead after eight minutes
of play.

Nick Wicker and Brandon Clark scored four each for Sweetwater in the opening frame.
The second quarter would be played to a 13-all draw, but that was good enough for Kingston to take a 26-21 lead at halftime.

Clark led all scorers in the period with eight points while Huddleston scored five for the Jackets.
Kingston scored 13 points again in the third period, but this time they held Sweetwater to nine, making the score 39-30 with eight minutes to play.
