VIDEO: Ponds’ triple-double leads Jefferson over Lincoln
Over the last 20 years, some of the biggest names in New York City high school basketball have gone to Lincoln — Stephon Marbury, Sebastian Telfair, Lance Stephenson and Isaiah Whitehead — but that trend appears to be over. Instead, the biggest name in New York City right now could be Jefferson’s Shamorie Ponds.
Ponds showed off his skills when he scored 35 points with 10 steals and 10 rebounds in a dominant performance that led the Jefferson Orange Wave (8-0) to a 98-86 victory over the Lincoln Railsplitters (6-1) in East New York on Thursday.
