From the Capital-Journal:

SILVER LAKE: Given that he’s Silver Lake’s leading scorer, it wasn’t a shock to see Dillon Byrne have a big game Tuesday night.

But with second-leading scorer Mason Griffin sidelined with the flu, Byrne felt the need to pick up his scoring even more.

“I talked to Mason today and he said, ‘Hey, you need to step up tonight,’ ” Byrne said. “We’ve both been up there scoring all year, but that’s what I knew I had to do. But I didn’t think I’d come out and shoot like that.”

Byrne stepped up big indeed. After missing his first shot of the game, Byrne made his next six. All of those were in the first quarter and four were from 3-point range as the senior forward scored 18 straight points in the quarter to help the Eagles open up a 22-15 lead.

Byrne never really slowed down, finishing 14 of 20 from the field overall, 4 of 5 from three and 3 of 3 at the free-throw line for a career-best 35-point night, leading Silver Lake to the blowout win.

“I hit that first shot and I was feeling it,” said Byrne, whose previous high was 34 last year against Wabaunsee. “When I hit that second one, I was like, ‘Well, this is going to work out.’ I got to the rim and got my teammates some open looks too.”

Silver Lake finished 30 of 46 from the field as a team and Walker Moore added 11 for the Eagles (4-1, 2-1). Taegan Sumner led Rossville with 16 points.
