The Kansas girls soccer championships are underway across the state.
In Class 6A, it’ll be a Shawnee showdown between Shawnee Mission East (18-2-0) and nearby Mill Valley (17-2-1), schools separated by a 15-minute drive, to determine the state champion.
Shawnee Mission East advanced to the final, set for 2 p.m. Saturday at Wichita’s Stryker Complex, with a 5-0 win over Manhattan. Mill Valley took down Washburn Rural 1-0.
Also at 2 p.m. Saturday — at Hummer Sports Park in Topeka — Class 5A will see St. Thomas Aquinas meet Bishop Carroll after the former won 4-0 in the semifinal round and the latter slipped by St. James Academy on penalty kicks.
