TURNER’S THREE LIFTS JAGUARS TO SCHOOL-RECORD 20th WIN

EASTERN, Ky. (WMDJ) — Sophomore Brayden Turner did it again! Three days after scoring the game-winner to clinch the 58th District regular season championship against Lawrence County, Turner iced visiting Pikeville with a three-pointer at the buzzer to lift Floyd Central to a 69-66 win on Monday night.

The win is the Jaguars’ 20th of the season, setting a new school record. The program won 19 games during the 2017-18 and 2022-23 seasons.

Because of his last-second heroics, Turner was named WMDJ Floyd County Player of the Game. He finished with 13 points.

Floyd Central (20-5) was led in scoring by senior Chris Spriggs, who scored a game-high 23 points. Turner and Spriggs were joined in double figures by freshman Lucas Howard and senior Dylan Boyd, scoring 18 and 11, respectively. Howard also grabbed a team-high nine rebounds.

Pikeville (18-4) was led by Jackson Keene’s 20 points. Cole Slone (16) and Carter Parsons (11) chipped in with 11.

Floyd Central returns to action on Friday, February 20 when they welcome in Shelby Valley. Pikeville is also back in action on Friday, welcoming in Perry County Central.
