The one-two punch of seniors Shannon Clarke and Evy Harrell was all Free State’s girls basketball team needed in its 57-38 home win over Olathe East on Tuesday.
Clarke and Harrell both paced the FSHS offense with 19 points apiece. Clarke scored 12 points in the second half to help Free State close the win out. Harrell did her damage in the first half, scoring 17 points across the first quarters to get things started for the Firebirds.
Free State improves to 4-5 on the year, which includes 2-4 in Sunflower League action. The win came on senior night and was a good way to honor Harrell, Clarke, Mattie Smith, Thayu Kimori, Anna McIntire, Daeci Walker and Robin Todd.
Free State will travel to Olathe South at 7 p.m. Friday.
