The Jaybirds, however, overcame every obstacle from their big school counterparts in an impressive 55-40 win at the Jayton High School gym.
Sean Stanaland scored 26 points and Colt Gentry added 15 more to lead Jayton (20-3), which never trailed after the 4:22 mark of the opening quarter. The Jaybirds, despite having no 3-pointers, found compensation by keeping the Mustangs off the offensive glass and converting several SHS turnovers into points.
