Colorado Academy made 24 3-point shots as a team on Friday, breaking the state record for 3-pointers in a game.

The previous record of 22 was set by Kiowa in 1995.

The Mustangs were 24-of-43 from behind the arc as a team in their 100-70 win over Manual. Christian Hyatt led the way with 12 individual 3-pointers, which is tied for the third-most in a single game.

Justin Bassey and Hunter Shkapich each made four 3s, Tye Thompson made three, and Peter Vukovich-Simonson also buried a 3-pointer.

Colorado Academy, runner-up a season ago in Class 3A, is now 10-6 this season. The Mustangs have won three games in a row.
