The Ball-Jackson connection worked again in the second quarter, with Ball finding the 247Sports 5-star recruit underneath the hoop for an easy two:

Jackson finished with 27 points and 10 rebounds.

Potter's Christian was never in the game, as it trailed 29-16 after one quarter and 51-36 at the halftime break. A 69-41 third-quarter deficit was too much to overcome, although Potter's Christian cut it closer in the final frame.

Spire will continue play in the Emerald Coast 16 on Friday at 8:30 p.m. ET against West Oaks.
