The McIntosh boys Varsity Basketball kept their win streak alive Tuesday night, defeating Luella 86-75. The Chiefs have now won 16 in a row and remain undefeated. McIntosh struggled early in the game, falling behind by as many as 5 points to a 6-7 Luella Lions squad. Junior Jordan Lyons and the Chiefs quickly regained the lead, and did not let it go for the remainder of the game.

Jordan scored a career-high 36 points on 11-16 shooting from the field. Junior Chase Walter scored 21 points. He had 5 or 6 easy dunks for the Chiefs. Juniors Will Washington, Dishon Lowery, and Chase all finished the game with double-doubles.
The Chiefs next game will be Friday, January 16, against the Dutchtown Bulldogs, who have a 3-12 record, in Hampton, Georgia.
