GAME STORY: Jaybirds jump on nervous Westbrook, then hang on for regional berth

After making its deepest playoff run in decades, the Westbrook Wildcats were playing with house money entering Tuesday’s Region II-1A quarterfinal with perennial power Jayton. 

But that didn’t prevent a slight case of nerves in the opening minutes — a jittery start that eventually cost them in a 48-39 loss at Wylie High School.

Tye Scogin scored 13 points and Tripp Scott added 10 more to lead Jayton (27-3), which now advances to the regional semifinals for the fifth time in six seasons.
