Oak Ridge guard Trumaine Jefferson worked hard on his shot throughout the offseason, especially from behind the arc. On Tuesday night, it paid huge dividends.

Jefferson scored 21 points, including 18 in the first half, to lead the War Eagles to a decisive 76-50 victory over the visiting Klein Oak Panthers. The game did not begin well for Oak Ridge, as Klein Oak scored the first seven points of the contest and quickly built an 11-4 advantage. click here for complete story and additional photos
