Weekend roundup: Leyton boys win Bayard crown

BAYARD – Sam Schumacher fired in 21 points Saturday evening, leading Leyton High School’s boys basketball Warriors to a 50-32 victory against host Bayard in the finals of the Tigers Invitational.

“We got off to a good start,” Warriors coach Gary Oltmann said. “We knew they’d make a run, and they did cut it to seven points before we got it going a little bit there at the end.”

LHS (2-0) got off to a 14-6 lead after a period, and pulled away grudgingly, leading 21-14 at halftime and 36-25 heading into the fourth quarter.

Brennan Cruise contributed 15 points and Dylan Brenner nine for the Warriors.

In the girls tournament, the LHS girls team knocked off Bayard, 40-34, to capture third place. Kaitlyn Berner dropped 11 points, grabbed six rebounds and snagged four steals to lead the Warriors (1-0). Kelsey Waite added 10 points, seven rebounds and also had four steals in addition to blocking three shots. Cousins Rachael and Katy Ernest shared team-high rebounding honors with eight each.

LHS will host South Platte Friday.
