Bryan (TX) combo guard J-Mychal Reese scored 52 points in a 113-79 win over Belton (TX) on Tuesday night. Reese, a junior, went 18-of-21 from the field, including 6-of-8 beyond the arc, and added six assists, five rebounds and three steals.

“I was just hitting shots and my teammates kept giving me the ball and telling me to shoot,” Reese told Brazo Sports. “Everything I shot was just going in. The basket got bigger and bigger. Once I hit that first [three-pointer] I felt it and I kept letting it go.” MORE >
