Junction City entered winless in league play, and Manhattan extended its winning streak over the Bluejays to 36 straight games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a good win,\u201d head coach Scott Mall said. \u201cWe were a little flat early, when you change the lineup, that\u2019s always going to happen a little bit. However, the girls rallied back, settled down, and I thought we did a lot better in the middle two quarters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The night honored seniors Kat Ball, Delaney Larson, Jorryn Hall and Tess Henry in their final regular-season home appearance.
