It was not a great day for the Perry basketball teams Saturday as both the Jayettes and Bluejays were defeated by host Des Moines Christian.  The Lions embarrassed Perry in girls competition by a final score of 55-8.  DMC led 43-4 at the half.  Molly Lutmer scored 7 of Perry’s 8 points.

In boys competition, a 12-0 run in the fourth quarter propelled DMC past Perry 79-58.  Perry trailed by six at halftime but could come no closer in the second half.  Drew Levan and Connor Nielsen led the way with 15 points each.

Perry will travel to Grimes Tuesday for a girl boy doubleheader.
