Veritas girls basketball wins

? Kayli Farley had 12 points, and Kristen Finger and Sarah McDermott each had 11 rebounds as Veritas Christian claimed a 36-20 high school girls basketball victory over Overland Park Whitefield Christian on Friday at the Eagles’ home.

Whitefield never scored more than eight points in any quarter and was held scoreless in the third. It shot just 12 percent from the floor on the night.

“Defensively, we did well,” Veritas coach Kevin Shelton said. “Our effort in the third quarter put them away. The girls responded well out of halftime.”

Winner of two straight, Veritas (5-6) will play host to Overland Park Hyman Brand Hebrew tonight.
