JEFFERSONVILLE – Jeffersonville got its offense out of a major rut Saturday night at Johnson Arena, as it beat Indianapolis Tech 79-43. The Red Devils (9-8) snapped a four-game losing streak, where they averaged 48.3 points per game.

Bailey Falkenstein led Jeff with a game-high 26 points, scoring 22 in the first half. The junior connected on nine of his 13 field-goal attempts, including 3-of-3 from behind the arc.
Sophomore guard Joe LaGrange had 12 points, while teammates Mike Minton and Gabe Gallahar each tallied nine. Jeff junior Gerrin Moore had eight points and six rebounds, while Red Devil freshman Tre Coleman grabbed a game-high seven boards.
The key quarter for the Devils was third when Jeff outscored the Titans 31-11 to take a 47-22 halftime lead.
