Just two nights after giving up 92 points in a loss at Johnston, the Ankeny Centennial boys’ basketball team found itself on the better end of a scoring spree.
The Jaguars made 13-of-21 3-point attempts and rolled to an 89-47 victory at Mason City in a CIML Iowa Conference game on Thursday.
“It was a great road win and a nice bounce-back win,” said Centennial coach Bob Fontana. “I’m real proud of our kids. It was a total team effort from everyone who touched the floor.”
Centennial held a 19-11 lead at the end of the first quarter, then outscored Mason City by at least 10 points in each of the last three periods. The Jaguars held a 41-23 advantage at halftime, then extended the margin to 66-34 after three quarters.
“It was just a nice job by everybody,” Fontana said. “It was a great team effort defensively, and we shared the ball real well as a team. We had 24 assists.”
Chris Louis led Centennial’s balanced attack with 15 points. Jackson Snyder chipped in 13, Reece Robinson had 12 points and eight rebounds, Evan Bryan also scored 12, and Drew Schreurs added 11.
Caden Kelling added eight assists and three steals for the Jaguars, who improved to 2-0 in the league and 3-2 overall. Mason City’s records dropped to 1-2 and 2-3.
David Willemsen had 11 points to lead Mason City, which shot just 34.6 percent from the field (18-of-52).
Centennial will play another conference game on Tuesday at ninth-ranked Waukee Northwest (4-1).
