Olathe Christian sweeps Veritas

? Veritas Christian played Olathe Christian tough in a rematch, but lost, 61-46, in high school boys basketball Saturday night.

Micah Barclay scored 12 points, and Tyler Williams added night points for Veritas.

“I thought we played very well, considering we played them a week ago and completely blew us away,” Veritas coach Doug Bennett said, recalling a 55-26 loss. “It was a very competitive game tonight. The guys battled hard. We’re shooting the ball a lot better. The rebounding and turnovers are something that’s been hurting us all year.”

Veritas made 26 turnovers and was outrebounded, 27-18, but the Eagles hit 44 percent from the field.

Veritas (2-14) will play Tuesday at Lebo.
