COLUMBIA — Jefferson City knocked down nine 3-pointers in a 43-32 win over Smith-Cotton in the first round of the Class 5, District 9 tournament on Monday at Hickman High School.
The Lady Jays scored one point in the first half that didn’t come from a 3-point shot and didn’t hit their first field goal from inside the arc until early in the third quarter.
