Manhattan High basketball had no problem picking up the sweep last night on the road against rival Junction City.
The MHS girls led wire to wire in a 60-35 win over the Lady Blue Jays. Caroline Ballard had 15 points to lead the way for MHS. The win improves the MHS girls to 15-4 overall, 9-3 in the Centennial league.
They remain in a four way tie for the top spot in the Centennial League going into the final game on Friday night. The MHS girls have clinched the #1 seed in Sub State and will host next week.
The MHS boys poured in a 32 point fourth quarter effort to rally past Junction City 70-57. Gabe Awbrey ties a career high with 22 points in the win.
The MHS boys (17-2, 11-1) clinched at least a share of a Centennial League title, their first since 2008. They can win the league outright with a win on Friday in the regular season finale. The Tribe boys also clinched the #2 seed in Sub State and they will also host sub state next week.
