Bishop Seabury's Sam Bayliss (20) goes up for a layup as Veritas player Will Bartkoski (12) watches Friday night at Haskell Indian Nations University on Jan. 17, 2020.

Even with a shorthanded roster, Bishop Seabury’s boys basketball team took care of business on Tuesday.

The Seahawks jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter before coasting to a 68-13 victory over Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy at BSA. It was an impressive win considering the fact that Bishop Seabury was playing without starters Cobe Green and Zach Bloch, who sat out as a precaution because of previous injuries.

Bishop Seabury (10-2, No. 1 in Class 2A) has now won three games in a row since placing fourth at the Baldwin Invitational in late January.

“Don’t feel like everyone stepped up the way I would (have) liked to fill in,” BSA head coach Jonathan Raney said. “We did some good things, especially coming out of halftime. Thought (Joao Carlos) Ramirez got something out of the game. (He) played really hard and with good energy.”

Ramirez, a 6-foot-6 sophomore forward, led the way with 17 points for the Seahawks, who scored at least 17 points as a team in each of the first three periods. Bishop Seabury posted a 24-4 edge in the third quarter to run away with another lopsided win.

Senior Luke Hornberger and freshman guard Enzo Karam finished with 15 and 13 points, respectively, to join Ramirez in double figures for the hosts. Earlier in the night, Bishop Seabury’s girls basketball team picked up a 30-20 victory over Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy.

Both teams will be back in action with a back-to-back stretch this weekend. Bishop Seabury will play host to Grandview Christian on Friday before welcoming Veritas Christian for another crosstown clash on Saturday.
