Taylor at it again

Guard Jack Taylor scored 71 points Friday night in Grinnell’s 144-99 season-opening basketball victory over visiting Finlandia. The 5-foot-10 junior from Black River Falls, Wis., became an instant celebrity last Nov. 20 when he scored 138 points in the Division III’s school’s 179-104 victory over Faith Baptist Bible College. On Friday night in front of a crowd of 347 fans, Taylor was 23 of 52 from the field, made 11 of 29 3-point attempts and 14 of 21 free throws. Last season, in 16.5 minutes per game, Taylor averaged 36.3 points for the Pioneers. His season was cut short when he fractured his right wrist in January. – Associated Press
