Principia Girls Roll to District Title Over Whitfield

senior Kara Johnson marked her team’s district win over with a milestone of her own. She hit 1,000 career points Friday night.

The Principia girls left little doubt, as they notched their 16th win in a row. The score was 39-10 at the half, in front of a boisterous home crowd for the Class 3 District 6 tournament final. They won it 56-16.

“She can flat out play, man, she can flat out score. People are like, ‘Hey, you’re doing a great job coaching.’ Why? (Because) I say pass the ball into Kara,” Principia coach Shad Nichols said in STLhighschoolsports. “Does that make me a good coach because I tell the team to pass it to her inside?”

Whitfield coach Harold Barker was happy with getting to the district final in his first year as head coach.

“To get to the district final, was a huge success for us," he told STLhighschoolsports. "I’m really proud of my girls.”
