The Indians led just 8-6 after the first quarter and built a 20-12 halftime advantage.

The Eagles battled back in the third quarter, however, and trailed by just two entering the fourth quarter.

Brianna Kulas led the way with 13 points, Mary Pat Specht had 11 and Janessa Clay added 10 for the Indians.

SM North (8-7) next plays Monday at home against Olathe Northwest.

Point of View

Do you do anything to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?

“We are all Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. My family won the best in family floats in Shawnee’s St. Patrick’s Day parade a few years back. We got to have a big trophy for the year. My sons love throwing out candy on the parade route.”
