LeRoy-Ostrander senior Seth Royston reached a major milestone as the Cardinal boys basketball team beat Kenyon-Wanamingo (1-17 overall) 75-51 in LeRoy Tuesday.

Royston scored a career-high 37 points as he hit eight three-pointers in the win for LO (12-3 overall). He also scored his 1,000th career point, making him the first LO boys basketball player to hit that mark since his older brother Zach Royston did it in the 2014-2015 season.

LO led by just one at the half, but the team stepped up in the second frame.
