A balanced effort from the Jaguars (6-3), with four players in double figures, fought off a game effort from the Cards. Taylen Mehring drained seven threes and scored 26 points to lead Carrington (3-7) but a quick 9-2 run to begin the fourth quarter gave Northern Cass the needed breathing room to hold off Carrington.
