Lansing ? It only took one unproductive quarter Friday night to send the Tonganoxie High girls basketball team home with its fourth straight loss.

For the Chieftains, a listless third quarter at Lansing led to a 40-31 Lions victory.

LHS (4-3 overall, 4-0 Kaw Valley League) opened the second half with a 9-0 run as Tonganoxie failed to score a single point until the final two minutes of the third quarter.

THS senior Danielle Miller finally broke the drought with 1:34 to go in the third, when she put in an easy inside basket on an assist from fellow forward Tavia Brown.

With five missed field goals, five turnovers and two misfires at the free-throw line in the third, Tonganoxie (2-5, 1-4) squandered its two-point halftime advantage.

THS plays at 6 p.m. on Tuesday against De Soto in the first round of the Tonganoxie Invitational.

Lansing 60, Tonganoxie 30

Lansing — What figured to be a difficult Friday night for Tonganoxie High got worse as it went.

The Chieftains (2-5 overall, 0-5 Kaw Valley League) were without starting center Dane Erickson and facing a Lansing team that was undefeated in league play.

Only able to hang around in the first quarter, THS soon found itself on the wrong end of a rout.

Tonganoxie coach Shawn Phillips said, given the situation (Erickson was with the THS debate team in Overland Park, competing at state), his team did nothing on the road to compete with LHS (5-2, 4-0).

Jeremy Carlisle scored 15 for Tonganoxie
