Veritas girls fall

? Veritas Christian ran into a rugged opponent in Olathe Christian on Friday night and suffered a 46-17 high school girls basketball loss.

Naomi Hickman led the Eagles with nine points and five rebounds, and Madi Bennett added seven points.

Kristen Finger, with one point, was the only other Veritas player to score.

The loss dropped the Eagles to 5-2.

“We had 19 turnovers in the first and 11 in the second, and that’s pretty much the story of the game,” Veritas coach Kevin Shelton said. “They played at a little bit different speed than we did. We ran into a pretty good team tonight.”

Veritas will have an alumni scrimmage on Dec. 29, then will play Topeka Heritage on Jan. 5 in Eudora.
