From the outset, the Lady Vikes controlled the game. Seaman led 20-8 at the end of the first quarter and doubled the total of the Lady Chargers by halftime, 38-19.
“We have been stressing in practice about getting the ball moving on offense,'' Seaman coach Matt Tinsley said. The ball will find the right person when we do that.”
In the third quarter, Seaman extended their lead with one of their best quarters of the season. They shot 13-16 from the field, outscored Topeka West 31-8 and led 69-27 heading into the fourth quarter.
“We were really in sync offensively in the third quarter,” Tinsley said.
