Indians Outrun the Wildcats
The junior high boys basketball team traveled to Sharon Springs on Monday, November 23, to play the Wallace County Wildcats. Only one game was played as Wallace County only had ten boys on their team. St. Francis easily defeated the Wildcats by a score of 44-11.
St. Francis jumped out to a 23-3 lead after one quarter of play. In the first period, St. Francis received two points from Shadryon Blanka and 21 from Brady Dinkel.
