In boys’ play, top-ranked Century remained undefeated with an 88-53 rout of Jamestown.

Century (9-3) was as close as 46-44 before Jamestown scored the next six points, with two Neumiller buckets sandwiching two free throws by Hannah Attleson. The Blue Jays led 52-44 with just over three minutes to play.

Jamestown then led by 10 in the last minute before Century scored seven straight points in under 40 seconds, but Neumiller clinched the win with a last free throw with 10.2 to play.
