Eagles still looking for next win

The Jenkins County High School boys' basketball team is showing improvement in a lot of areas except the win column.

"Our roster has fluctuated over the last three weeks, but the eight we've got right now are playing better basketball", said head coach Mark Whitt. "We're playing better defensively. We've just got to be more consistent with our shooting."
