TECUMSEH ? The Lawrence High girls basketball team lost, 54-42, against unbeaten Washburn Rural on Thursday at the Thunderbird Classic.

Haley Parker had 11 to lead the Lions, who fell to 4-7 on the season.

“I felt like we played together better. We did a really good job in the third quarter defensively,” LHS coach Kristin Mallory said of a quarter in which LHS held Washburn Rural to five points and no field goals. “We just struggled to get into a flow offensively.”

The Lions will take on Derby at 5:30 p.m. today.
