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 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.”
