Independence, Mo. ? Michael Kay scored 13 points in Veritas Christian School’s 51-35 boys basketball loss to Englewood Christian on Thursday night.

“Defensively and rebounding wise we are performing well enough to win. Our shooting woes continued tonight. We shot 25 percent,” coach Doug Bennett said. “We did start gaining a little confidence in the second half. We started hitting some shots. It gives us something to build on during the break.”

Jeremiah Johnson had 10 boards for Veritas, which fell to 2-5.
