HENDERSON – McNairy Central Head Coach Jerry Lott received the perfect birthday gift. Lott couldn’t have asked for a better present than the 61-35 whipping of rival Chester County on Jan. 7.

Latham leads MC to dominant win By Jeff York
For the Independent Appeal
HENDERSON – Senior Mason Latham poured in a career-high 28 points to lead McNairy Central to an 87-68 victory over host Chester Co. in a district encounter on Jan. 7. Latham was especially dominant in the first half when he scored 18 of his game-high total. McNairy’s offensive output was their best of the season and is the first time it has hit the 80-mark this season. The victory pushed McNairy’s record back over the .500 mark to 7-6 and 3-1 in District 14-AA. McNairy’s boys have now compiled a 10-game winning streak over their neighbors from the north. Chester County’s last win over the Bobcats came on Jan. 27 of 2015 by a score of 77-63. The Bobcats let the Eagles know early they planned on extending their winning streak by one more game. MC scored six points in the opening minute to put the Eagles back on their heels. Leading 11-6, McNairy went on a 14-4 scoring blitz to end the first quarter to balloon their lead to 25-10. Latham capped the first quarter with a long jumper to display it was going to be his night. Both teams matched baskets for most of the second stanza with CCHS managing to cut their deficit to 44-32, by halftime. The Eagles junior tandem of Will Brown and Dalton Colbert each scored 15 to keep their team within striking distance of the Bobcats. Jasper Sanders had a good first half with nine points and Omari Robinson added five in the first half. Marqkis White contributed four points to compliment Latham’s 18. Simon Whitaker dropped in six in the third period as did Eli Yopp to help increase McNairy’s advantage to 6749. Latham took game scoring honors for the Bobcats with 28. Sanders chipped in 15. White added 14 and Whitaker finished with 10 points.
