After dropping three straight games, the Lyle-Pacelli boys basketball team made a focus to get to the hoop as they beat Schaeffer Academy (1-16 overall, 1-12 SEC) 81-45 in Lyle Tuesday.

The Athletics (9-5 overall, 9-3 SEC) made 32 two-pointers in the win.

“The big thing we talked about after last week was trying to attack more and not settling for outside jumpers,” LP head coach Dean DeBoer said. “We did that tonight and we were able to get back on track a little bit.”
