Bryan Gregory, the reigning Player of the Year in Rock Valley boys basketball, took charge for Edgerton High when it mattered most Thursday night.

Gregory, a 6-4 senior, topped off a 33-point peformance with nine in the fourth quarter as the visiting Crimson Tide pulled away from Jefferson for a 53-40 victory in a Rock Valley North opener.

Edgerton, the conference’s defending co-champion, led only 39-35 after three quarters, then put the game out of reach with a 14-5 advantage in the last eight minutes to go 2-0 for the season. Gregory’s dominating effort during that decisive stretch included a 3-for-3 spurt on free throws.

Jefferson, a first-year Rock Valley member, fell to 0-2 for the season, but not before Trevor Probst scored 21 points while keeping the Eagles into contention for three periods.
