Creighton Prep had to skate by with only a three-point margin when they last took the court, which might have inspired the 24-point drubbing they dealt Benson on Tuesday. The Creighton Prep Junior Jays were the clear victor by a 64-40 margin over the Benson Bunnies. Given the Junior Jays' advantage in MaxPreps' Nebraska basketball rankings (they are ranked tenth, while the Bunnies are ranked 136th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
