Warren was the more aggressive team out of the gate but LC tightened up their laces with Javien Bigbee and Tae Davis’ monster dunks.

Warren had way too many wasted possessions as LC kept digging in. As hot as Lawrence Central was in the second quarter Warren managed to keep it to within 8 points with Lawrence Central only up 32-24 at the break.
Coming out of the break LC went nuts as they went up 43-26 before boyz could blink. They had gone on a 11-2 run without breaking a sweat.
With cats like Jasen Graves shootin’ that thang along with Nijel Pack and Dre’ Davis gettin’ loose it was a hard way to go as Lawrence Central ran away with this one.
There was one bright spot for the Warrior though. Malik Stanley is as good as advertised as he led all scorers with 25 points.
