One day later, the shock has subsided a little bit. No more trying to figure out what happened at Topeka High Saturday night.

Still, that was amazing.

For the few hundred people who witnessed the Lawrence High boys basketball team’s season opener, you saw a true treat. But you don’t need me to tell you that.

The Showtime Lions beat the Trojans, 100-85, to move to 1-0. It’s an amazing point total by both teams, considering high school regulation games are just 32 minutes long.

But the way they did it had eyes popping out, minds racing to catch up with the action and Kansas state records saying goodbye to the books they had been in since 1993.

How did Lawrence High do it?

A lot of depth, a lot of shooters and dedication to the task at hand.

The Lions had to buy into coach Chris Davis’s plan, or this style of play would crash and burn immediately.

Obviously, they did.

Instead of playing a patient, half-court game, Lawrence hauls tail downcourt as fast as possible, finds an open guy on the perimeter and shoots a three-pointer. I’m guessing most of Lawrence’s possessions didn’t last any longer than six or seven seconds Saturday.

On defense, the Lions played a full-court press. Two guys are smothering whoever has the ball, putting four hands in his face, forcing him to think and act quickly — and often, carelessly. Sure, someone will always be open that way, but who cares? It led to 23 Topeka High turnovers Saturday. Davis will gladly give up a few easy buckets for a few hard-fought turnovers.

“Our guys played defense as hard as any I’ve ever coached,” Davis said Saturday. “I’m very proud.”

Davis warned me in the preseason that this year’s Lions would be a fast-paced, fun bunch to watch. But to this magnitude? Give me a break.

The Showtime Lions don’t run a revolutionary gameplan, but 99 percent of high school teams can’t do it. They either have too much size, not enough depth or not enough shooters that can lurk beyond the arc.

But Davis has a special bunch, and he wasn’t afraid to think outside the box when trying to figure out how they could succeed. Nine different Lions hit a three-pointer Saturday. Five different Lions — Brennan Bechard, Taylor Parker, David Freeman, Alex Ayre and Joe Crane — hit at least three three-pointers. It was an unbelievable spectacle, one that shattered Kansas state high school records.

Lawrence’s 59 three-point attempts Saturday easily broke a decade-old state mark, set by Ottawa. Nobody in Kansas high school history had attempted more than 42 threes in a game before Saturday.

In addition, the 21 treys the Lions did connect on beat another 10-year-old state record, this one set by Frankfort. The Wildcats hit 16 in that game.

Will LHS be this great every night? To be blunt, no. It’s a high-risk style, and if the shooters don’t have the touch or if the defense doesn’t focus 100 percent on the full-court press, LHS probably won’t win. There will be breakdowns. The Lions are human.

But if Saturday is any indication of how the season is going to go, the Showtime Lions easily will be the must-watch team in the state of Kansas.

The next test is Lee’s Summit (Mo.) North Thursday at the Blue Valley Shootout. The Broncos are 3-0 after scoring 82 Friday against Kansas City (Mo.) Westport. It looks to be a heck of a showdown.

“As long as we stay within the system,” Davis said of his players, “I’m pretty confident.”

And as long as LHS sticks to the plan, fans certainly will get much more than their money’s worth. Just ask those who saw the Showtime Lions drop 100 Saturday night.
