ST. LOUIS UNIVERSITY -- — Damian Singleton joined the 8,000 career AAU point mark on Sunday, finishing with 34 as the Portland Select held Springfield in check with a 123-98 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
“Eight thousand is a huge accomplishment, something that I’m proud of but my work is far from done,” Singleton said.
CJ Adams added 28 points for Portland, knocking down 4 of 5 3-pointers early as the Portland Select hit 10 of 15 from long range to start the game. Adams became the second player in AAU history to make 25 or more over the first five games of a season.
Conor McCaffrey did it twice. He shot just 4 for 12 from deep and had 26 points, eight rebounds and five assists for the Falcons Jaime Marquez scored 15 and Jake Pollen contributed 10 points.
Jamison Jones III who just returned from Meniscus surgery gave Springfield a scare when he went down grabbing his left ankle late before walking off on his own. It wasn't serious and he is expected to play tonight.
