Eudora — Cair Paravel broke open a close game by outscoring Veritas 24-5 in the third quarter.

The Eagles trailed just 21-17 at halftime but scored just seven points in the second half.

“We were encouraged in the first half,” Veritas coach Kevin Shelton said. “The third quarter just did us in. We kind of went cold in the second half. Scoring seven points in the second half is not going to win many games.”

Madi Bennett led Veritas with six points, and Hannah Gloss Joy Brooks and Naomi Hickman scored four points apiece.

The Eagles (8-12) will play Monday at Midland Adventist in Shawnee.
