The Lyle-Pacelli boys basketball team used a defensive adjustment to beat Schaeffer Academy (4-13 overall, 4-9 SEC) 66-51 in Rochester Friday.

Schaeffer’s Josiah Nelson had 24 points in the first half, but LP switched to a box and one defense with Brady Lester and Nathan Drees matching up with him to pull away in the second half.

“He’s a shooter and we had to go box in one on him and held him scoreless the rest of the way,” LP head coach Scott Koenigs said.

Braden Kocer had 23 points for LP (11-8 overall, 9-5 SEC) and Jordan Cotter got LP going with a steal and dunk in the first half.
