Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Lane Tech). They took their matchup on Tuesday with ease, bagging an 85-33 victory over the Carver Challengers. Given the Champions' advantage in MaxPreps' Illinois basketball rankings (they are ranked 49th, while the Challengers are ranked 654th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Dalton Scantlebury continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, going 5 for 7 to rack up 16 points in addition to seven boards and five assists. That's the most assists he has posted since back in December of 2024. Chase Kaplan also deserves some recognition as he grabbed his first steal of the season.
They weren't the only ones working in the assist department: Lane Tech was working as a unit and finished the game with 22 assists. That's the most assists they've managed all season.
When it comes to explaining why Carver lost, don't look at Keontae Williams. Despite the final result, he had 16 points.
The win was the third in a row for Lane Tech, bringing their record for this year to 16-10. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 65.7 points over those games. As for Carver, their loss was their tenth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 0-12.
Lane Tech wasted no time getting back out on the court and has already played their next game, a 63-45 victory against Agricultural Science on the 6th. Carver does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
