CHAMPAIGN - St. Joseph-Ogden's Tanner Jacob reaches up to pull down an offensive rebound during second half action of his basketball team's road game at St. Thomas More on Tuesday. Behind teammate Ty Pence's game-high 30 points along with scoring contributions from eight other players, the Spartans (17-4, 2-2) rolled past the Sabers, 59-28. SJO will look to extend their two-game win streak when they play at home on Friday hosting the Monticello Sages.
