The Leyton boys’ basketball team extended their dominance in district competition, improving to an impressive 14-5 overall record (5-0 in district) with a pair of solid victories earlier this month.

Despite Sedgwick County’s efficient shooting from key players like Noah Harens (22 points) and Tate Renquist (16 points), Leyton’s rebounding edge (34-15) and balanced attack secured the victory.
Three days later, on February 6, Leyton edged Creek Valley 37-34 in a tightly contested matchup, also at home. Borgmann again paced the Warriors with 12 points, while sophomore Colt Van Anne added 9. The Warriors shot an efficient 59% from the field and forced key turnovers, holding off Creek Valley’s Mason Timm, who scored 16 points with 7 rebounds and 6 assists.
