The North Laurel boy’s basketball program is still headlined by Kentucky commit Reed Sheppard, but a slight change in this season’s roster has the Jaguars hunting for a deeper run in Rupp Arena this spring.
On Monday night in London, Ky., No. 3 North Laurel (1-0) hosted No. 7 Lexington Catholic (0-1) in front of a packed house that officially introduced both squads to the 2022-23 season. Led by a near triple-double of 23 points (on 8-12 shooting), eight rebounds, and eight assists from Sheppard, North Laurel cruised to a 77-65 victory over the Knights.
