CARBONDALE ? Santa Fe Trail High took an early lead, and then increased it as the game went on in its 62-33 boys basketball blowout Tuesday of Kansas City Ward.

“We jumped out to a good lead at the end of the first quarter at 11-3,” Santa Fe coach Jason Schaffer said. “Once our shots started falling in the second quarter and third quarter, we pulled away. It was a good team effort by us.”

K.C. Ward never went into halftime trailing by 19.

It neutralized Santa Fe Trail’s offense late in the fourth quarter, but by then it was too late.
