Montrose boys come to Grand Junction short-handed
The Montrose High School boys basketball team will be without its leading scorer, Jonathan Harshman, for Friday’s game at Grand Junction High School.
Harshman, the subject of a criminal investigation in Montrose, was indefinitely suspended from the basketball team. He was averaging close to 13 points per game this season.
“It’s still going through the legal system, so I don’t know if he will be back on the team,” Indians coach Dwight Rawlings said.
“I don’t even think the school administration knows what’s going to happen at this point.”
Freshman Niko Youngren has taken Harshman’s spot as starting point guard. Rawlings said he is also working with senior Jeremy Jones on playing some time at the point.
Grand Junction (12-2, 2-0 Southwestern League) will enter Friday’s game with a four-game win streak. Montrose (10-4, 1-1) has won five of six with the only loss in that stretch coming last weekend at home against Durango.
