Too many turnovers cost the United South Central boys’ basketball team Monday at the Blue Earth Area Tournament in a 66-62 loss to Jackson County Central.

Riley Swearingen led all scorers with 23 points and Kyle Bauman added 18 for the Rebels (3-2), but JCC (5-1) had some shooting threats of its own and Ty Schwarting and Trevor Bargfrede led the way.

Schwarting scored 21 points and Bargfrede added 15 in the victory.

USC plays Tuesday at 6 p.m. against the loser of the Blue Earth-Granada-Huntley-East Chain game.
