HUMBOLDT — Humboldt High’s girls were the model of offensive efficiency and defensive dominance Thursday.
The Lady Cubs saw six players notch buckets in a dominating first quarter as Humboldt blasted its way to a 21-2 lead over Jayhawk-Linn.
The drumbeat continued from there as Humboldt extended its lead to 38-15 at halftime and 49-19 by the end of the third quarter of a 52-21 romp.
The Lady Cubs will host Neodesha and Cherryvale next Tuesday and Friday, respectively.
Skylar Hottenstein and Chanlynn Wrestler both connected on a pair of 3-pointers in the first quarter.
By the time the dust settled, McKenna Jones had the high-scoring honors with 10 points. Shelby Shaughnessy was right behind with nine points, while Karingten Hall and Hottenstein each scored eight.
