Much like the girls, South came out sluggish. The Colts blitzed the Cougars on a 7-0 start before the Cougars cut the deficit to 10-8 in the first. Campus shut the door on any early comeback, closing out the opening frame on a 13-2 run, en route to a 30-23 lead at the half.

South sophomore Devon Junghans willed the Cougars back to a one-point game, 34-33, with back-to-back triples. The biggest trey came from Campus senior Tyler Kahmann, who rained in a three before the close of the third. Kahmann wasn’t done, drilling two more triples in a 12-2 explosion that put the Colts ahead of the Cougars for good.

Kahmann finished with 19 points. South’s Younghans poured in a career-high 13 points.
