Tonganoxie ? Free throws have doomed the Tonganoxie High boys basketball team all season, but Tuesday night they were the team’s savior in a 52-41 victory against Perry-Lecompton.

The Chieftains (6-13) went 14-of-19 from the charity stripe and 7-for-7 in the fourth quarter in a game that was close late. Tongie sealed the victory from the free-throw line.

“That has not been a strong suit for us,” Tongie coach David Walker said.

Tongie was led by Sam Mitchell, who dropped a game-high 20 points. Drew Tucker led the Kaws with 10. P-L played without leading scorer Willie Treaster.

The Chieftains will travel Friday to Basehor-Linwood.
