Rams sweep games, defeat Jefferson in rivalry showdown
Robertsville Middle School’s boys basketball team had been struggling heading into last week, having split their previous four games.
The Rams regained their winning form by sweeping three conference contests, capped by a 47-33 victory over crosstown rival Jefferson on Saturday at Wildcat Arena.
Tre Threat led the Rams with 13 points against the Eagles. La’Meire Porter added 11, while Josiah McClure chipped in 10. Kashton Seaman and Tavin Seaman scored six points each, and Braylon Payne finished with one.
“It was a clean sweep for us this week,” Robertsville Coach John Spratling said. “Those were three big wins, and they were all conference games.
“Then, you had the Jefferson game — a conference game and a rivalry game. It’s always big to get that one. It’s always going to be a good game and close because we always want to beat them, and they always want to beat us.”
On Thursday, the Rams routed Cherokee to open the second half of their conference schedule.
Porter tallied 21 points, while Kashton Seaman scored 17. Threat added 14, and McClure finished with six.
On Monday, Dec. 9, the Rams crushed LaFollette 66-16, with Porter leading the way with 24 points. Tavin Seaman contributed 12, while Payne and Threat each scored eight. Kashton Seaman added five, McClure four, and Hayden Free and Kalil Wooten scored two apiece. Malik Teasley added one.
The Rams played their final game before the holiday break against Jacksboro on Monday, though results were not available at press time.
