“I started inside and worked my way outside,” Holliday said. “My shots started falling and I kept on shooting andwanted my teammates involved.”Neil Watson (pictured top), who scored a game-high 17 points, converted a four-point play to give Sumner a25-13 lead – it’s first double-digit lead of the game.From there, Sumner added on to its lead, eventually building up a 48-17 lead entering halftime.“We got up a nice lead on the team and we kept it going,” Holliday said. “We held on to it even with our JV teamin.”After a slow start, Sumner built a 47-point lead during the third quarter. Sumner’s starters saw limited action inthe second half.“We played pretty well,” said Dan Parra, Sumner head coach. “We came out tentative but our defensive pressurepicked up. We turned our defense into offense and forced them into bad shots.”Sumner will play Piper Thursday night in Eudora. Piper defeated Baldwin 57-44 Monday night at Kansas CityKansas Community College.“I think one of the keys is to force them into some of the things we want to get done,” Parra said. “We need tocontrol the tempo and boards.”Sumner and Piper were two of Wyandotte County’s three teams that finished over .500 this season. Tipoff isslated for 7 p.m. at Eudora High School.
