Basehor-Linwood girls play host to Tonganoxie Tuesday as team improves KVL mark
The Basehor-Linwood girls basketball team evened its league record with a 60-43 victory against Lansing on Friday.
Junior Jamie Johnson led the way with 29 points, including a 14-of-17 mark from the free-throw line. Johnson was on the mark when it mattered, shooting 9-of-12 from the foul-line in the fourth quarter.
The game began as a dead heat, tied 9-9 after the first eight minutes, but the Bobcats pulled away with a 16-8 second quarter to carry an eight-point lead into halftime. It would be a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. Johnson nailed a trio of three-point shots during the Bobcats’ 18-point third quarter.
The win improved the Bobcats to 5-6 overall and evened their Kaw Valley League record at 3-3.
Senior Bailey Hooker contributed nine points, while senior Cara McCarty added seven. Sophomore Victoria Smith scored six points before halftime.
The Bobcats return to play at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the opener of a girls-boys doubleheader against Tonganoxie (8-4, 3-3). A victory against Tonganoxie, and a Piper loss to Bonner Springs that same night would move the girls to third place in the KVL standings with six league games left to play in February.

The postal service is cutting back hours at some rural post offices. How often do you go to the post office?
“For my own personal use, I only go a couple times a year to mail gifts, usually around Christmas and family birthdays. At that time I usually buy a couple books of stamps that last for most of the year! For professional use, I go a couple times a month to check our PO Box.”
