Photos: Kent Denver boys hoops upsets No. 3 Jefferson Academy

BROOMFIELD — Kent Denver boys basketball came into No. 3 Jefferson Academy’s house on senior night and got the upset, 48-45, Wednesday night.

The game was a back-and-forth battle until Kent started to pull away late in the third quarter. Kent used stifling defense to stretch its lead to 11 before Jefferson hit its first bucket of the quarter with five minutes to go.

Kent took its largest lead of the game, 12, with four minutes to go, but Jefferson started to come back. The Jaguars got to within four points thanks to increased intensity and a pumped-up crowd, but didn’t get much closer than that.

Freshman guard Stone Delaney and junior Matt Wells led Kent Denver, scoring 13 and 11, respectively. Senior captain Andrew Ullman poured in 16 points for Jefferson, who got help from Taylor Teets’ nine points.
