Cougars cruise past Vikings

February 7, 2010

Just four days earlier, Shawnee Mission Northwest's boys basketball team suffered a disappointing 41-37 loss to Shawnee Mission West.

The Cougars made certain during Satuday's rematch that everybody knew the loss was a fluke.

The Cougars crushed the Vikings, 60-34, in a game where Northwest flat-out dominated.

SMNW outscored West in every quarter, but it was a 17-6 run in the second quarter that served as the knockout punch. West had hung around during the first quarter and trailed just 12-8 entering the second.

SMNW led 29-14 at halftime and continued to pull away throughout the second half.

Steve Carver scored a game-high 19 points for Northwest, Trey Fruehling had 16 and A.J. Spencer added 14 in the victory.

Northwest snapped a three-game losing skid and improved to 9-5 overall this season.

The Cougars next play at 7 p.m. Tuesday at home against Olathe North.

Point of View

Do you think it is important for Shawnee to be bicycle-friendly?

I think it’s important. I do love and use the paths, but it would be nice to have lanes so we could use bikes to run errands - saving gas!
