Sophomore guard Tyce Jarvis gave Kentucky hoops fans a show at the 2025 Sweet 16, powering Montgomery County (24-11) to their first state semifinal since 2013. In the opener, Jarvis dropped 21 points, including three 3-pointers, and grabbed seven rebounds in a 98-72 rout of Lawrence County, helping the Indians set a tournament record with 16 treys. His 10 first-quarter points sparked a 20-13 lead that ballooned to 50-30 by halftime, as his transition buckets and defensive hustle overwhelmed the Bulldogs, who shot a dismal 2-for-20 from deep.
Jarvis kept the fire going in the quarterfinals, battling back from a scoreless first half to score 14 points, all in the second half, with four steals in a 69-66 thriller over North Laurel. His 11 third-quarter points, including a steal-and-dunk, fueled an 18-5 run that gave Montgomery County an eight-point edge.
Jarvis’ 43 tournament points and relentless energy marked him as a star on the rise, ready to lead Montgomery County next season.
