SPORTS
LADY LIONS PUSH STREAK TO 10 IN-A-ROW!
Players, coaches and fans were disappointed after Tuesday's game against Midland were canceled, but the Lady Lions didn't miss a beat when they returned to action at Alta Vista on Friday night.
The game was never in question as IHS rumbled off point after point to remain the sole undefeated team in GPAC conference play.
The girls will be in action against two GPAC opponents this week. On Tuesday the squad travels to KSD (450 Park Street, Olathe, KS). On Thursday they will host Cristo Rey. Currently IHS and Cristo Rey are the only teams in the conference without a GPAC loss this season. Tip off on Thursday will be at 6pm (215 Park St., Linwood).
BOYS REMAIN ATOP GPAC WITH BIG WIN OVER ALTA VISTA!
IHS jumped out to a 25-11 lead by the end of the first quarter, and never looked back. By the end of the night IHS won 66-45 and remained undefeated in conference play.
Up next: IHS travels to KSD on Tuesday to take on the Jackrabbits (0-6), before hosting #2 Cristo Rey (5-1) at home on Thursday (7:30pm- 215 Park St., Linwood).

Atruim Hotel and Conference Center

Hutchinson, KS 67501
NOTES: This is the place we stayed last year. It has a fun indoor pool area, lots of open space for gathering, Free breakfast, etc.
This hotel is about a 30 minute drive from most gyms we will play in. However everyone loved this location and situation better than anything we could find in McPherson.
Some families choose to stay over on Saturday night rather than come home late after the game. If you decide to do this, be sure to make the appropriate reservation with the hotel.
If you have more questions please call Christy Mitchell (785) 760-4947
