Bad 4th quarter dooms Chieftains

? Tonganoxie High hung with Basehor-Linwood through three quarters, but a nightmarish fourth quarter resulted in the Chieftains’ sixth boys basketball loss of the season, 61-45, Friday.

Tongie (2-6) and Basehor exchanged the lead eight times, but a 12-1 run in the fourth put the game out of reach.

“We just lost our composure in the fourth quarter,” THS coach David Walker said.

Kirk Rodell led the way for the Chieftains with 20 points.
