Blue Team guard Josh Jackson drives against Red Team guard Brannen Greene during the Bill Self basketball camp alumni scrimmage, Wednesday, June 8, 2016 at the Horejsi Athletic Center.

Kansas University senior Frank Mason III scored 24 points and freshman Josh Jackson pitched in 21 points to pace the Blue team to a 92-85 victory over the Red squad in Wednesday’s Bill Self campers game in Horejsi Center.

Jackson, a 6-7 guard from Prolific Prep in Napa, Calif., who is ranked No. 1 in the recruiting Class of 2016, hit 10 of 17 shots, including one three. There was a brief scare when fellow freshman Mitch Lightfoot (11 points) hammered Jackson on a dunk try. Jackson went down to the floor where he remained for several seconds. He left the game briefly, only to return and immediately drill a 15-footer.

Former KU forward Kevin Young scored 16 and Landen Lucas contributed 10 for the winning team.

Sophomore guard Lagerald Vick scored 29 points for the Red team off 10-of-13 shooting. Vick hit seven threes. Carlton Bragg scored 14 points for the Red squad.
