“Our defense is getting better every game,” Kent City coach David Engles said. “I love our effort on that end. the offense is coming around, too.
“We made some minor adjustments at halftime that really helped us pull away in the third quarter.”
Larson burned the Indians for 32 points, the second time he’s hit that total in the last two games, while Hayden Carlson came through with 17 points.
