Vicksburg kept charging at Madison Central, but the Jaguars swatted them aside time and again like an annoying housefly — or one of the shots the Gators kept sending toward Joniah White

White blocked seven shots, to go along with 16 points and seven rebounds, and Xavian Stapleton scored a game-high 30 points as Madison Central (2-2) handed Vicksburg (3-1) its first loss of the season.

Madison used the frontcourt tandem of White and Stapleton to stake itself to a big early lead it never relinquished. The Jaguars hit 7 of 10 shots from the field in the first quarter while holding the Gators to 2-for-10 shooting, and jumped out to a 19-5 advantage.
