MORAN — Marmaton Valley High’s girls found a respite of sorts from their grueling late-season schedule Friday.

The victory moves Marmaton Valley to 10-8 on the season with two more regular-season matchups remaining this week.. Prior to Friday, the Wildcats had dropped four of their last five.
There was no such concern Friday. Janae Granere scored 10 in the first quarter and five in the second as the Wildcats took control from the outset.
Marmaton Valley pushed its lead to 35-3 at the break and 49-7 after three.
Granere wound up with 17 points to lead the way. She, as well as the other four Wildcat starters, were sitting on the bench long before the fourth quarter arrived.
Payton Scharff added 10 points and Tayven Sutton nine. Seven other Wildcats also notched points.
Summer Raymond scored five to lead Altoona-Midway (3-14.
Marmaton Valley wraps up regular season play with a home game Tuesday against Jayhawk-Linn and a Friday tilt at Chetopa.
