MHS - Women's Basketball / December 2, 2020 By Kasey McDowell
The holiday is over and it's back to the grind for the Mulvane Middle School girls basketball who hosted the Haysville West Gorillas on Tuesday, December 1st in front of...an empty gym thanks to a KSHSAA vote to not allow spectators until January 28th, 2021.
The 8A girls faced a completely different team from last time they faced the Gorillas (the Cats won 44-6) as previously their starting 5 players were on quarantine, and the game was much different this time. It was a defensive battle on both sides and the Cats went into halftime up 10-8 and were able to hold on to the narrow lead and win 16-13. Oliva Ellis and Lexi Cunningham led the Cats with 6 points each and Makenna Treat and Reece Lazier both dropped in 2 points each.

Reece Lazier finished the game with 4 points and Laiken Hladik and Brodee Ferry both finished with 2 points each.
