Firebird Track and Field finishes at 6A State

[Sports in Kansas @sportsinkansas]

Lawrence Free State is headed to the 6A state championship game after grinding out a 3-2 win over Shawnee Mission South on Friday in a pitcher’s duel.

Ben Graves delivered on the mound and at the plate for the Firebirds, throwing a complete game while also driving in a run. Graves allowed just five hits over seven innings with five strikeouts as Free State continued its strong postseason run.

The Firebirds broke through in the third inning when Ryker Mahnke singled in a run, Graves ripped an RBI triple to center, and another run scored on an error to build a 3-0 advantage.

Shawnee Mission South battled back and cut the deficit to one, but Free State closed the door late to secure a spot in the state title game.

Mahnke finished with a hit, an RBI and two stolen bases, while Graves and Nathan Young also collected hits for the Firebirds. Free State played clean defensively without committing an error.

Shawnee Mission South was led by Atticus McGeeney and Everett Sims with RBIs, while Luke McKenna struck out seven on the mound.

Now the Firebirds will meet Washburn Rural in the 6A state championship game with a title on the line.

🎯"The report shares that by allowing practice time to be started, or even completed, during the school day, the pressure on a students' after school hours is significantly reduced, which in turn allows them to focus on academics, and utilizing after-school activities like tutoring, mental health services, or holding a job."
