Pa. Boys: Sat. Pa. boys: Imhotep edges Lower Merion

Imhotep Charter boys' basketball coach Andre Noble made great time as he avoided Saturday afternoon's traffic and arrived at Lower Merion in 70 minutes.

And his good fortune continued as his basketball team turned back Lower Merion's late rally to win, 58-54. Senior Jakwan Jones scored eight of his 17 points in the fourth quarter. Basil Thompson added 17 points and Sean Lloyd scored 13.

"It's a great day for Imhotep," Noble said.
