Basehor — Senior Stephanie Lichtenauer scored 18 points and senior Tanner Tripp added 16 to keep the Mill Valley girls basketball team unbeaten in league play after Tuesday’s 56-28 victory at Basehor-Linwood.

The Jaguars (6-1, 5-0 in the KVL) went on a 15-1 run in the third quarter after forcing 14 turnovers and scored 10 points off offensive rebounds early in the game.

Lichtenauer also came up with more than a half dozen steals to generate easy points in transition and senior Brooklyn Sloop scored six of her eight points in the first quarter.

Senior Mackenzie Conklin added five points, including a three-pointer in the third quarter.

Tuesday’s MVHS victory — and Bonner Springs’ 49-37 win against Tonganoxie — sets up a showdown on Friday between the final two undefeated teams in league play. MVHS will travel to BSHS (7-1, 5-0 in the KVL) for a 5:45 p.m. tipoff.
