Bohannon drills nine 3's for 40

Jordan Bohannon was simply Bo-Dacious on Friday night.

The Linn-Mar sharpshooter broke the school record with nine 3-pointers and poured in a career-best 40 points as the Lions drilled Cedar Rapids Prairie, 91-54, in the Linn-Mar gym.

The record stayed in the Bohannon family, however, as Jordan snapped the old mark of eight 3-pointers set by his older brother, Jason, during the 2005-06 campaign.

Bohannon tossed in one of his 3-pointers from more than 30 feet, hit several other triples with a defender's hand in his face and twice beat the clock with 3-pointers at the end of a quarter.

He finished 9 for 11 from behind the arc in his remarkable performance.

"It's a shooter's dream," Bohannon said. "You work so hard in the off-season, preparing for these moments."
