The Washburn girls led comfortably for the entire game on their way to an easy 43-24 victory. In the other game, the boys had a tougher time, but once the Cardinal shooters came alive in the third quarter, the game was firmly in their hands, ending 60-40. Girls. The Washburn girls were once again led by the shooting stroke of Spanky Clayton who had the only double-digit scoring total for either team with 28 points. By half-time, the Cardinals had put together an 11-point lead with the score 20-9. Coming out into the third quarter, it was more Clayton for the Cardinals as she scored first by taking a steal for a layup on the other end and added another three points for Washburn on a shot from behind the arc.
