Louisburg junior Brianne Kuhlman pulls up for a 3-pointer during a game earlier this season. The Lady Cats defeated Chanute, 56-35, on Friday in Louisburg.

The Louisburg girls basketball had already thought their regular season had come to an end after a win over Paola on the road.

The Lady Cats were focused on the playoffs, but a last minute addition to the schedule gave them one more opportunity to improve on their regular season. Louisburg hosted Chanute on Friday and the Lady Cats definitely took advantage.

Louisburg used a big second quarter and pulled away for a 56-35 victory over the Blue Comets.

“Friday night’s game was an awesome team win,” Louisburg coach Adrianne Lane said. “The girls played with great energy and they played together. The atmosphere was so much fun Friday too, the student section had so much fun and the girls really fed off their excitement.”

The Lady Cats had a four point lead after the first quarter, but then outscored Chanute 21-6 in the second to take 31-12 halftime advantage.

Senior Jordan Mynsted provided the Lady Cats with a big boost in the scoring column with 21 points and also had six rebounds.

Junior Adyson Ross finished with nine points, while juniors Ava Baker and Emma Lohse each had seven. Another junior, Emma Prettyman, pulled down a team-high nine rebounds.

It is now postseason time as the Lady Cats are the No. 14 seed and will travel to No. 3 Bishop Miege at 7 p.m. today for the first round of the Class 4A sub-state tournament. Miege is the defending state champion and one of the top teams again in Class 4A.

“Going into Bishop Miege will be a tough game for our team, but if we stay positive and continue to play with energy and play as a team we will give them a great game,” Lane said. “Our team has nothing to lose, we need to battle every possession, play great defense, and play together in order to be successful.”
