Jeff North slaps Seabury, 72-54

? Bill Gibbs scored 23 points, but the Seabury Academy boys basketball team fell to Jefferson County North, 72-54, Friday at the McLouth tournament.

The Seahawks (5-2) will play in the third-place game at 5:30 p.m. today.

“I think he’s finally finding his shooting touch,” Seabury coach Mike Harding said of Gibbs. “He’s relaxing, rising up and shooting the three well. If we can get everybody on that same cylinder in one game, I think we’ll be all right.”

Skyler Malone had 13 points for the Seahawks, while Brandon McCaffey added nine.

“We started off hot and then cooled off,” Harding said. “We struggled to get the ball inside.”
