Tanner Jacob goes up for a shot around Pinckneyville's Ty Laur and Riley Bauersachs in the second half of their Christie Clinic Shootout game on Saturday. Jacob led SJO's scoring effort with 20 points, three assists, and one steal. His output was not enough to help St. Joseph-Ogden past the Panthers, who won the contest 75-57. The Spartans take to the floor again tomorrow night at Teutopolis and are at home Friday to host the Pontiac Indians for an Illini Prairie Conference game.
