The Lady Eagles basketball team defeated Newton on Feb. 28 to clench the league title and advance to a perfect record of 20-0.
Senior Keiryn Swenson led the offensive charge with a total of 20 points and eight rebounds with one assist. Other notable players include sophomore Brianna Johnson with nine points, senior Daley Handy with eight points and sophomore Taylor Holmes with six points.
Senior Zoe Wedman accredited the team’s success to the excellent leadership of the coaches, diligent practice and outstanding team chemistry.
“We’ve never been undefeated in league,” said Wedman. “So that was a big accomplishment in itself […] and we just have to win five games to win the state championship.”
The Lady Eagles will compete again at 7 p.m. March 5 at Maize against Wichita West in the first sub-state game.
