Both the 8u and 11u Kansas boys’ basketball teams took care of business in their respective Dwight Harris Boys Club (DHBC) basketball league games on Monday. The 8u team defeated LSU by the score of 18-11 and the 11u Jayhawks defeated the 11u LSU team by the score of 42-30.

In the 8u game, it was a hard-fought battle during the first half and Kansas had an 8-6 halftime lead, but in the second half, Kansas was able to pull away and won by the score of 18-11. Tyler McGarrah led the 8u Jayhawks in scoring with 10 points and Thomas Haugabook led the 8u LSU Tigers with six points.

In the 11u game, the first half was a low-scoring but hard-fought half. Late in the first half, Kansas led 14-9, but the Tigers went on an 8-0 run that included a long two-pointer by Lakista McCuller and a three-pointer by Tristan Walton.

However, late in the third quarter, the 11u Jayhawks went on an 8-0 run to take a 28-20 lead. They would then use their pressure defense to force turnovers and would go on a 10-0 run in the fourth quarter. That run would effectively seal the game for Kansas and they would go on to win by the score of 42-30.

Steven Kearse led the 11u Kansas team in scoring with 17 points and Broderick Berry scored 12.
