5A Girls State Quarterfinals – Great Bend vs Topeka-Seaman 3-13-14

The final game of the KSHSAA Class 5A Girls Basketball Quarterfinals pitted the Great Bend Lady Panthers versus the Seaman Lady Vikings.

Great Bend jumped to an early lead. Seaman would chip away at that lead from time to time, even taking a lead themselves in the Second Half. The Lady Panthers went on an eight point run to take back control and went on to win the game with a final of 60 to 46.

They will now face Salina Central Friday Evening at 6:30PM for a chance to play for the State Championship.

Below are some of the pictures I took at the game:
