Olathe ? Free State High struggled to get going offensively as the Firebirds softball team was shut out, 9-0, Thursday by Olathe Northwest.

Kylie Cobb, Dacia Starr and Kate Stanwix each had a hit apiece for the Firebirds.

FSHS coach Lee Ice knew it wouldn’t be easy to hang with the Ravens, but he was disappointed with how the Firebirds performed at the plate.
