High school basketball: Ronnie Boyce's buzzer-beater lifts Putnam City boys

Javeion Gray led Carl Albert with 17 points, as four Titan scorers reached double-figures.

BIGS LEAD IRISH

Bishop McGuinness coach Tondrell Durham was concerned about how his team would handle its first game back after winning the McGuinness Classic on Saturday.

Tuesday night's 57-38 win at Shawnee wasn't perfect, but Durham will take it.

“I call it the ‘after Classic hangover,'” Durham said. “It's always been a tough one for us that next game. But we came out and got the job done.”

The inside combination of Will Lienhard, the Irish's 6-foot-7 sophomore, and David Love led the way, combining for 24 points and 21 rebounds.

Lienhard had 13 points, 12 rebounds and added five blocks.

“When those two big guys are working together, it's tough on either end,” Durham said.

The Irish outrebounded Shawnee 40-18. Stephen Amalong led McGuinness with 17 points.

JOHN MARSHALL DOWNS BETHANY

John Marshall overpowered ninth-ranked Class 4A Bethany in the fourth quarter to pull away for a 66-56 win.

Junior guard Devion Smith led the No. 12 Bears with 20 points, 10 of which came in the fourth quarter. Tyler Harrison scored seven of his 14 in the fourth as well, as the Bears outscored Bethany 24-11.

Kyle Bottger had a game-high 26 points for Bethany.
