Pavlovich Records Triple-Double in Dominant Week for Eighth-Grade Girls
MCPHERSON — The McPherson Middle School eighth-grade A team girls basketball squad continued its undefeated season with a pair of lopsided victories last week, improving to 10-0 while showcasing balanced scoring and suffocating defense under head coach Matt Sandbo.
December 1 vs. Prairie Hills
The Lady Bulldogs opened the week with a commanding 38-9 victory over Prairie Hills at home. Elles Pavlovich led all scorers with 22 points while adding six rebounds and three assists in the dominant performance.

December 4 at Arkansas City
