Manhattan High girls’ basketball snapped a two-game skid in textbook fashion Friday night, downing Junction City 66-46 on senior night.
The Indians improved to 16-5 overall and 6-2 in Centennial League play, bouncing back from consecutive league losses to Topeka High and Hayden. Junction City entered winless in league play, and Manhattan extended its winning streak over the Bluejays to 36 straight games.
“It was a good win,” head coach Scott Mall said. “We were a little flat early, when you change the lineup, that’s always going to happen a little bit. However, the girls rallied back, settled down, and I thought we did a lot better in the middle two quarters.”
The night honored seniors Kat Ball, Delaney Larson, Jorryn Hall and Tess Henry in their final regular-season home appearance. Ball led Manhattan with a game-high 21 points, tying her career high for the third time this season.
