We didn't want to go to it too early and give them time to adjust. Totals 18 10-19 46. Totals 23 12-18 59. Topeka High 15, Shawnee Heights 18. Shawnee Heights 59, Topeka High 43.
Basketball is a game of runs.
We told our kids that Shawnee Heights would have one, too. Our quickness and pressure was a big factor. I would have liked to keep doing it, but we were in so much foul trouble that we had to back off. Jesse Schmidt, Heights' 6-6 senior center, had 16 points and 13 rebounds. Gilchrist scored the game's first basket, but he had two fouls three minutes into the game.
