JACKSON, Mississippi — Jasmine Jefferson walked out of the visitors locker room Monday night and proclaimed what already was obvious.“First let me say, finally,” Southern’s senior post player said, “that Jas Jefferson is back.”
Jefferson, a preseason all-Southwestern Athletic Conference player, has played below expectations for much of the season. But she had game-highs of 19 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Jaguars to a 77-61 victory against Jackson State in the Lee E. Williams Athletic and Assembly Center.
That performance came 48 hours after Jefferson missed 10 of 14 shots and had just five rebounds in an effort that epitomized the Jaguars’ lethargic 57-56 loss at Grambling.
“I was really happy with Jas,” Southern coach Sandy Pugh said, “because I really lit into her the last game — during and after.”
