Fast forward to Friday and the Brighton Lady Cardinals entered the Munford Gymnasium looking for the upset. But Jones kept up her MVP level of play hitting 5 three-pointers against Brighton to lead her team with 21 points. Munford remained perfect in District 13-3A play beating the Lady Cardinals 62-29.
BOYS BASKETBALL: Brighton 54, Munford 36
One scouting reports on the 2015-16 Brighton Cardinals is to try to shutdown the backcourt of Taeylr Gatlin and Tramaine Cooper.
The Munford Cougars were fully aware of that entering Friday night’s game in the Munford Gymnasium. But Brighton Head Coach Stan Gatlin knew he had a X-factor from the perimeter in Zach Lewis.
Sharpening his shooting skills in practice and with old playground games, Lewis hit a couple of three-pointers and some timely layups to help Brighton win the game 54-36 over Munford.
