acksonville got the defensive stop it needed and remained undefeated in the 5A-Central Conference through the first half of league play after its road victory over Little Rock Hall on Tuesday night.

The Titans held off the Warriors for a 36-35 victory at George Cirks Arena to improve to 7-0 in the 5A-Central.

The game was tied at 35-35 with 2:07 left to play after Jacksonville junior forward TJ Stewart made 1 of 2 free throws.

The Warriors then held the ball for almost two minutes. With 15 seconds remaining, Hall senior guard Ja'Core Williams, who was defended by Jacksonville senior guard Davonte Davis, attempted a go-ahead jumper. Williams' shot did not fall and Davis pulled down the rebound.

Hall Coach Jon Coleman said he wished his team would have taken more time off the clock to get off their shot attempt.
