2024 Top 10 Moments: #4 - Silver Lake Girls Record Perfect Season En Route to State Championship

On March 9th, the Silver Lake girls basketball team claimed their first state basketball championship since 2016.

They defeated Hesston in the title game 66-61 to claim the 3A championship.

Kailyn Hanni and McKenzie McDaniel balled out for the Eagles in the championship game. Hanni finished with 26 points going 14-of-15 from the free throw line. McDaniel posted a monster double-double with 25 points and 13 rebounds.

Hanni, McDaniel, and McKinley Kruger were named First Team All-State by Sports in Kansas.

It was one of the most dominant seasons we’ve seen in recent memory as they had very few competitive games, going unblemished at 26-0.

For Silver Lake, it was their seventh state championship in school history.
