By Gary Kalahar JTV Sports Daniel Poole needed little time – say, one game – to show he was ready to make the leap from middle school to varsity basketball. As a freshman in East Jackson High School’s first game of the 2014-15 season, Poole drove the lane and sank a basket at the buzzer to beat Columbia Central 49-48. Three years later, Poole continues pouring in the points at a record-breaking pace. And, more importantly to him and his team, leading the Trojans to victories. After winning no more than seven games in each of Poole’s first three seasons, East Jackson is off to a 6-1 start this winter. The highlight – so far, anyway – was a 62-56 victory over perennial Cascades Conference power Hanover-Horton, a game that saw Poole reach the 1,000-point mark for his career. “I knew we had to win that game,” Poole said. “That was what was most important. A thousand points is a big thing, but I’d rather do something big in this conference than care about my 1,000th point.” East Jackson coach Rodney Lowden said that type of attitude has gone…

Western Boys Basketball Seeking 5th Win in a Row over Lumen Christi
The tip-off of last year’s Lumen Christi vs Western basketball game. Photo by Ryan Kerwin, JTV Sports. UPDATE: Weather postponement. Game moved to Saturday, January 13 at 4 PM (Lumen Christi Fieldhouse) By Mike Moore Staff Writer Jackson — It’s the biggest game on the schedule, because it’s the next one. That’s what Parma Western boys basketball coach Ryan Mulnix said late Thursday night in regards to his team’s trip to Lumen Christi Friday. Nothing wrong in keeping with the focused approach. But still, this one has a little more to it than that. “Yeah, it’s a big one, and our guys know that,” Mulnix said. Western has owned this series of late, winning four in a row over the past two years, and some of those games haven’t been close. The shot at five straight comes Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Lumen, where Mulnix expects a hungry and motivated Titans group to be waiting. “It’s a great opportunity for us,”Mulnix said. “This is a chance to focus on our next game, and we should expect to win. At the same time, we have to be ready. They understand they haven’t beat us in a few years, and they are…
