It was an all-around “Good Friday” for the Lexington boys’ basketball team.

The top-ranked Wildcats stayed undefeated with the 62-38 win over Cardinal Newman at the CNHY Showcase.

Playing before an audience which included former two-sport great and Mister South Carolina Football Shaq Roland, Lexington held the host team Cardinals to a season-low in points and its third opponent this season under 40 points.

Junior guard Cam Scott scored a game-high 22 points to earn Player of the Game honors. Kaleb Evans had 11 points and Jose Figueroa contributed nine points and several hustle rebounds.

“He’s our glue guy,” said Pope about Figueroa. “He plays a little bit of everything. Does a little bit of everything, knocks down shots, fights for boards. I’m glad he’s playing with us because playing against a guy like that is tough.”

The contest also saw the debut of junior transfer Jaxon Prunty. Most recently rated a four-star recruit, the 6-6, 170-pound swingman out of Providence Day School in North Carolina has offers from five schools.

Prunty’s first game with the Wildcats saw him contribute six points off the bench, all in the second half. He also had an assist on a 3-pointer by Scott which helped break open the game.

When asked about Prunty’s role, Pope said it’s a matter of him earning his playing time.

“It’s a situation where you get what you earn,” he said. “You’re out here as much as we can put you out here, as much as you can show that you’re able to play the style that we want to at the level that we want to. But, at the end of the day, that’s something where he’s got to earn every minute that he gets. Nothing is given.”
