Prevett, Johnson propel Jacksonville to 44-40 win over Mount Zion

Jacksonville High School pulled out a 44-40 victory over Mount Zion in a low-scoring, defensive contest that hinged on late baskets from Greyson Prevett and Masen Johnson. Prevett and Johnson provided the key scoring down the stretch that secured the win, capping a game defined more by stops than fast-break offense.

The game, played February 7, 2026, unfolded as a defensive struggle in which both teams struggled to find consistent offense. Prevett and Johnson emerged as Jacksonville’s primary late options, converting the plays necessary to preserve a narrow advantage. Beyond those two contributors, no individual point totals or a complete box score were available at the time of this report.

Jacksonville’s victory keeps local attention focused on the final weeks of the regular season and the approach of postseason seeding. Exact implications for Jacksonville’s standing in conference play or playoff positioning cannot be determined until full team records and league standings are confirmed. The final score and the late-game contributions of Prevett and Johnson, however, illustrate the kind of execution that can matter in close games down the stretch.

Area results from the same round of high-school play included West Hancock’s 58-46 win over Routt and West Central’s girls team topping Roxana 52-36. Those outcomes add to the local picture of competitive balance across Morgan County and neighboring programs, but detailed stat lines and coach comments for those games were not available in the initial recap.
