    Will Korn|Dec 10, 2014

He improved his act on Tuesday night against Leyton, pouring in 28 points to lead Peetz (2-1) to a 66-53 road win over the Warriors. Leyton fell to 0-3. "They (Leyton) went to a zone in the second quarter," Barrett said. "So I just floated in that corner, key area...

  • Jenkins, Cruise dominate boards, but Leyton falls short v.s. Peetz

    Will Korn|Dec 10, 2014

    The Leyton High girls' basketball team got the shots it wanted almost the entire game. They just didn't fall – or at least not as often as they did for the visiting Peetz' shooters on Tuesday night. Leyton isn't known as a great shooting team from the outside, but credit much of its poor night from the field to Peetz' hustle defense, which led the way to the Lady Bulldogs' 37-29 road win. Peetz improved to 2-1, while Leyton slipped to 1-2. "I expected them to shut down our inside game," L...
