JAMESTOWN – Now, the Minot Majettes can vouch for how confidently Jamestown Blue Jays Girls Basketball is playing lately.

The Blue Jays had a seven-point lead over the state’s top-ranked AA team on Tuesday before Minot bridged the end of the first half and the start of the second with a 31-4 run and held on for a 62-50 win over Jamestown at Jerry Meyer Arena.

Two-time Gatorade Player of the Year and Oklahoma commit Leelee Bell led Minot (17-0, 14-0 WDA) with 28 points and 11 rebounds.  Maggie Fricke scored 12 for the Majettes.

Macie Neumiller scored 14 points for Jamestown (8-8, 6-7), with Mea Ulland scoring 12 on four first half three-pointers.  Adisyn Yunck scored 10 for the Blue Jays, who lost for just the third time in their past nine games.

Through Tuesday, Jamestown remained tied with Williston for fifth place in the WDA standings, one-half game ahead of seventh-place Bismarck.

Jamestown will play at Bismarck on Friday.
