Topeka ? Pressure defense helped Seabury Academy’s boys basketball squad pull away in the first half Tuesday and rout Topeka Heritage Christian, 57-35.

Grayson Dillon scored 16, and Scott King and Adam Davis each added 10 for the Seahawks, who led, 35-9, at halftime.

“We played pretty well,” Seabury coach Marcus Heckman said. “We don’t typically try to force tempo and use defensive pressure to produce offensive points, but tonight, we did.”

Seabury (6-7) will play host Feb. 3 to Flint Hills Christian.
