Pilots easily manage Yates' full-court pressure, cruise to 26-point win.

No. 16 Findlay Prep (Henderson, Nev.) snapped the nation's longest high school basketball win streak in impressive fashion Thursday night, beating No. 14 Yates (Houston, Texas) 95-69 in a game televised by ESPN.

It was Yates' first lost since Dec. 20, 2008, a span encompassing 66-straight victories and two Class 4A state titles. The Lions (8-1) were crowned MaxPreps.com's national champion a year ago following an undefeated season.

Thanks in large part to senior All-American Myck Kabongo, the Pilots (15-1) steered through the Houston program's vaunted full-court press with ease, often finishing breaks with flashy alley-oops and easy baskets.
