Recapping Friday night at the CCL

The combination of Hallice Cooke and Jameel McKay is proving to be a very formidable one. 

On Friday night at the YMCA Capital City League, the duo’s YMCA team dealt the best player in the league, Georges Niang, and his Renaissance Granite squad a 113-101 loss. McKay led the way with 31 points and 19 rebounds while Cooke scored 21 of his own. 

On the other end, Niang had 43 points while making 13 of 15 shots from the charity stripe. Iowa State walk-on Kourtlin Jackson chipped in with 22 and nine.

His teammate, Monte Morris, had 26 points and an unbelievable 24 assists in ADIO Chiropractic’s 135-120 victory over Capital Orthopedics.
