Meanwhile, Lawrence High (2-8) is the sixth seed in the Glacier’s Edge Girls Basketball Tournament and will face third-seeded Topeka High (5-4, No. 10 in 6A) in the first round at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday at Emporia High.

The Lions will play either the second-seeded Emporia (6-3) or seventh-seeded Wichita Southeast (1-9) on Friday.
