The Lions are 7-1 in duals. Up next, they will participate in the Sunflower League championships on Saturday at Shawnee Mission East.

“We’re definitely hopefully going to be in the top three, top four,” LHS coach Pat Naughton said. “Shawnee Mission South just won the Shawnee Mission duals.

“They’ve been coming along all season, so they’re definitely a contender. Shawnee Mission East is looking to defend the co-championship they won with Shawnee Mission Northwest last year.”
