SECKMAN BUMPS OFF JACKSON

ARNOLD -- The college scouts came to watch 6-foot-3 Seckman guard Justin Tylka.

He didn't disappoint them.

Tylka, who entered Tuesday's game against visiting Jackson averaging 25 points a game, poured in 29 as Seckman outlasted the Indians 53-50.

Trailing by one, Jackson was called for a traveling violation with three seconds remaining. After a quick foul and Seckman's two free throws, Jackson's Doug Cary missed a contested 20-foot 3-point attempt at the horn.

Jackson slipped to 9-4.

Cary's 15 points and four three pointers paced Jackson.
