Buda Johnson boys hoops beats Rouse to advance to second round of playoffs
MANOR, Texas (KXAN) — Buda Johnson defeated Leander Rouse in Monday night's bidistrict round matchup 51-43 to advance to the area round.
The game was a low scoring defensive affair for the first quarter before things opened up in the second period.

The third quarter was back and forth, with Rouse cutting the Jaguar lead to four after a JoJo Moore layup.
However, the fourth quarter belonged to Johnson as the Jaguars steadily grew the lead, culminating in a dunk from Sam McKinney which pretty much put the game away with under a minute on the clock.
McKinney led all scorers with 13 points, his teammate, Quinton Hairston added 12 in the Jaguars victory.
