Eudora’s girls basketball team went home with some hardware from the Paola tournament.

The Cardinals jumped out to a 11-9 lead in the first quarter, but a 19-point outburst in the third period really propelled them to the narrow win. EHS hit four 3-pointers in the third quarter. Harper Schreiner led the team with 17 points, knocking down four 3-pointers in the process.
