Anthony Jernigan and Jerome Harris are two of the better known sophomores in the state of Connecticut…and they proved why last Saturday as both guards were dominating the competition. Jernigan was up to his usual tricks – shaking defenders with his unmatched handle to create scoring opportunities for himself and others.
