East Limestone continued to roll through the N2Hoops Invitational at Bob Jones High School Tuesday, as the Indians dominated Class 7A James Clemens on their way to a 73-53 victory.

One day after Austin Harvell scored 32 points in a victory over Sparkman, Xavier Griffith topped him with 34 points and 13 rebounds against the Jets.

Griffith was 12 of 17 from the floor and hit nine of 10 free throws. Harvell scored 14 points as well, and was very efficient shooting the ball, making six of his seven shot attempts. He also grabbed eight rebounds.

The Indians led 13-10 after one quarter, but outscored James Clemens 14-8 in the second quarter to take a 27-18 halftime lead. East then outscored the Jets 24-18 in the third quarter to pull away.

East Limestone advanced to the tournament semifinal against Jemison Thursday. A win would put the Indians in the final against either Bob Jones or Lee-Huntsville. See www.enewscourier.com for information on that game.
