North Laurel junior guard Reed Sheppard delivered again at the King of the Bluegrass tournament in Louisville on Monday night, leading the Jaguars to a 74-66 victory over Dorman (S.C.) and a spot in the championship game of the event.
Sheppard tallied 35 points, nine steals and six assists in Monday’s game, one night after scoring 45 points in a 78-73 victory over North Oldham.
