GIRLS BASKETBALL: Locals advance in second day of regional play
Feb. 23—The Stuart Lady Hornets kept their playoff season alive with a 47-31 win over Clayton on Monday in the second round of the Class A Area IV Regional D Tournament in Tushka.
The Lady Hornets will next advance to the regional consolation final game, and will be playing for one of the coveted slots in the Area IV Tournament this weekend in Shawnee.
But Stuart wasn't the only area team to keep the playoff train moving.
Quinton found itself locked in a heated battle with Wayne in the Class A Area IV Regional B Tournament, but determinedly held off their opponents to take a 37-36 win and advance to the consolation final for the chance at another one of those spots in the Area IV Tournament.
