Jacari Porter’s steal and finish lifted Salem over Holy Innocents’ 52-50 in the second day of the Tournament of Champions at Wheeler.

With the game tied at 50, Holy Innocents’ attempted an inbound pass at half court. The ball was tipped by a defender as it left the hands of the inbounding player and careened high into the air allowing Porter to advance from the 3-point line and grab the ball at half court. He needed just two dribbles to cover the other half of the course and his left-handed lay-up sealed the victory.

Jeremiah Flournoy scored 19 points and Ju’Well Wilson added nine points for Salem. Caleb Wilson (18 points) and Bryce Chinn (11) paced Holy Innocents’.
