The games were close but in the end Topeka Seaman came away with a sweep over Junction City in boys and girls basketball Tuesday night at Seaman.

In the boys contest Junction City ( 7-10 ) rallied from an 11 point first half deficit and led by one after three quarters. But missed shots inside the paint early in the fourth quarter helped turn the tide in favor of the Vikings ( 13-5 ) as they rolled to a 64-55 victory over the Blue Jays.

Junction City coach Pat Battle said the only word he had for the loss was “disappointment.”

“Very disappointed when we needed to. We had some big big misses and they had some big big makes. They’re a really good team.”

TJ Poole had 19 and Ricardo Erans 16 points for the Blue Jays.

In the girls game Seaman ( 4-13 ) rallied from a 38-37 deficit to score the final four points of the game enroute to a 41-38 victory over Junction City ( 2-15 ).

Lady Jay coach Derek Petty said, “We didn’t finish the game very well. We got what we wanted. We got them to come out of the zone and they were chasing us around, and we ended up taking a bad shot. “That occurred with Junction City holding onto a one point lead in the closing minutes.

Kealee Rains and Briona Jensen had eight points apiece for the Lady Jays.
