The boys had a great battle against Topeka High and it was indeed a shoot out. The Junior Blues guys were really hyped after beating Hayden the past week and they showed it during the game. Topeka High put on a fight the scores they were putting on and the game was close during halftime. After, halftime we got to work and didn’t give up, and after the third quarter we were up ahead by 20 points. One of the biggest factors to the Junior Blue win was the play of Griffin Durst, a senior power forward.
