After 1: Strongsville - 19 McKinley - 12 Josh Byers with a second effort bucket to beat the horn, setting a new school record for points in a season in the process. Strongsville ended the quarter on what I believe was a 13-2 run.

A pair of scores from Josh Byers draws Strongsville within four, 59-55, with 1:16 to play in regulation. Byers has 23 points. #NEOHoops 🏀

Tip of the hat to Strongsville senior Josh Byers. Was easily one of my favorite kids that I watched this season and the epitome of a winner. Competed his ass off, almost always made the right play, and a high feel guy that just gets it.

been a pleasure to watch Joshua Byers
