In the most entertaining game of the EYBL Finals at Nike Peach Jam to date, Tyus Jones and his undersized Howard Pulley Panthers defeated Julius Randle and the Texas Titans 74-65 on Friday morning. Jones, a 6-foot-1 point guard who is the No. 3 player in the Class of 2014, and Randle, a 6-foot-9 stud who is the No. 2 player in the Class of 2013, put on a show for the countless coaches who crowded around Court 3. All three Triangle schools are in the mix for Randle, and Duke is high on Jones’ list. Jones finished with 27 points (on 11-for-19 shooting), eight assists, four rebounds and two turnovers. Randle had 31 points (on 11-for-25 shooting), 17 rebounds and six turnovers against Howard Pulley’s zone.
