Free State's Madison Piper races down court against Shawnee Mission East on Tuesday night, Jan. 3, 2017, at Free State.

Free State girls coach Ted Juneau has pretty clear vision of how his team should look on any given night.

The Firebirds looked the part in all facets in their first game back since the break, pulling off the 63-30 win over Shawnee Mission East Tuesday at FSHS.

“I was pretty pleased, we wanted to come out of the break with some intensity,” Juneau said. “I told the girls that this is the vision I have for our team and how we should be the rest of the season.”

FSHS (3-2) passed the ball with perfection, which led to several open shots on the offensive end. On the defensive side of the ball, the Firebirds were all over the place, leading to an abundance of turnovers created.

Senior Madison Piper led the way with 27 points, hitting 10 of her 14 shots from the floor. Piper knocked down 3-of-5 looks from downtown and 4-of-5 from the charity stripe. She notched 12 points in both the second and third quarter.

“I felt like we moved the ball so extremely well,” Piper said. “Everyone got a touch and everyone got a look. It was just great out there. You can definitely see the impact (of winter break). We are with each other every day and that builds chemistry.”

Free State guard Sam Lawrence (4) goes up for a lay-up against Shawnee Mission East defenders Tyler Keys (14) and Sofia Stechschulte (21) on Tuesday at FSHS.

Piper hit just one trey as Free State jumped out to an 11-0 lead out of the gate due to the team’s aggressiveness on the defensive side of the ball.

The Lancers struggled with the pressure, coughing the ball up seven times on the first eight possession, including the first four trips down the floor. Shawnee Mission East finished with 18 turnovers, nine of which were recorded in the opening quarter.

“It’s huge,” Juneau said. “For one our confidence and how we play. And for two, their lack of confidence and how they play. It also helps us get easy shots.”

Piper took just one shot in the first period, choosing to lean on her teammates instead. Juniors Jaelyn Two-Hearts and Cameryn Thomas each scored three baskets during that span. They finished with 15 and eight points, respectively.

Free State jumped out to an 18-7 advantage in the first period, before Piper removed all doubt over the next two quarter of play. She did not attempt a single shot in the final quarter.

Meanwhile, sophomore Sam Lawrence was the only other Firebird to score more than five points. She finished with seven points.

Free State will travel to Olathe North at 5:30 pm. Friday.
