Kylee Heurung's senior night went like this: 30 points, six rebounds and four steals Tuesday.
Hanna Degen's senior night ended with her posting 14 points and six rebounds.
The two combined to help the Brainerd Warriors to a 71-54 Central Lakes Conference victory over the St. Cloud Apollo Eagles at Brainerd High School.
The Warriors outscored Apollo 44-24 in the second half to erase a three-point deficit and secure the season sweep of Apollo. Brainerd beat the Eagles 57-53 Jan. 13.
"We had a nice win on senior night tonight," said Brainerd head coach Troy Nelson. "We came out and played really well in the second half. It was a great way for the seniors to play their last game on this court.
