It's Mid America Classic time at McPherson Roundhouse and our Lady Crusaders took to the courts Thursday afternoon against the Lady Indians from Manhattan.

If you throw out the 2nd and 3rd qtrs, this game ends in a tie.. the final score was Manhattan 81 Wellington 51. The Lady Crusaders held their own and played solid basketball during that 1st qtr and only trailed by 2 when it ended. The Lady Indians awakened apparently and went on a 50-20 run over the next 2 qtrs and the deal was sealed. Tall and strong, the Lady Indians pulled away for the eventual 30 pt. victory. Manhattan out rebounded WHS 38 to 26. The Lady Crusaders did sink 14/14 FT's the 2nd half, but turned the ball over 23 times to Manhattan's 16. The Lady Crusaders will play Valley Center Friday, @ 3PM, the Hornets came up short against Olathe South 51-31. In other action, Ulysses defeated Dodge City 29-24 and McPherson downed Wichita SE, 67-39. The "CLASSIC" ends on Saturday - GO LADIES!!
