The Juneau-Douglas High School boys basketball team started this week\u2019s Capital City Classic by showcasing its offensive firepower.<\/p>\n
The Crimson Bears exploded for 22 first-quarter points and 25 more in the third en route to a 76-35 drumming of Hydaburg.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey stuck it out,\u201d JDHS coach Robert Casperson said of Hydaburg. \u201cThey knew they were going to be challenged. I doubt they\u2019ll see the same kind of size we present as they move into their season.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kaleb Tompkins led JDHS with 16 points on the night, followed by Erik Kelly with 15, Guy Bean with 12, and Treyson Ramos and and Ulyz Bohulano with six each. Hydaburg\u2019s Sidney Warren-Edenshaw led all scorers with 18.<\/p>\n
With the game well in hand, the Crimson Bears\u2019 starters sat the fourth quarter and part of the third. The bench kept the scoring pace going, however.<\/p>\n
Casperson said his team\u2019s ability to score using multiple players is what sets this squad apart from others he\u2019s coached.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the things we have is guys that can score,\u201d he said. \u201cSome teams have one or two, but we\u2019ve got three or four who can tally 20 points in a game. And I don\u2019t think any of them care who scores. They\u2019re selfless and do a good job looking for each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eleven of the Crimson Bears\u2019 12 players made it into the scorebook on Monday. <\/p>\n
\u201cIn games like that, it gives you an opportunity to work on things,\u201d Casperson said. \u201cBecause nobody is looking for blowouts. We appreciate Hydaburg coming here as a smaller school.\u201d<\/p>\n
JDHS jumped to a 22-10 lead after the first quarter, then extended it to 39-22 at halftime. Nine different players found the net in the third to extend the lead to 64-30. <\/p>\n
JDHS plays again tonight at 7 p.m., with the girls team playing at 5 p.m. Action concludes Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\nKENTLAKE 70, SITKA 56<\/strong><\/p>\n Kentlake jumped out to an early 23-11 lead over the Sitka Wolves on Monday and never looked back on its way to a 70-56 victory during the first day of the Capital City Classic. <\/p>\n Austin McBryde and Trey Helgeson led all scorers with 16 points each, followed by Kevin Baker and Julion Mackey with 12 each, and Michael Alar with 10. Jesse Lantiegne led Sitka with 15 points, followed by Braden Case with 14 and Tevin Bayne with eight. <\/p>\n Kentlake held a 35-29 lead at the half, and 53-37 at the end of the third.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Juneau-Douglas High School boys basketball team started this week\u2019s Capital City Classic by showcasing its offensive firepower.
