On the Varsity side, the Lady Hornets defeated Troy by a score of 42-24. All 11 Lady Hornets saw action during the game. Leading scoring was Mackenzie Marple with 13 points, followed by Raina Rogers with 7 and Hannah Zuchowski with 6. Zuchowski lead in rebounding with 9, followed by Mackenzie Marple with 8. Raina Rogers lead the team with 5 steals.

Head coach Mary Grab commented that the girls played hard and worked well together. "It was a team effort", she said. "Everyone supported everyone else and we came away with a nice win. Troy was a quick, well-coached team with many young players; they will be a team sure to develop as the season continues."

Both Lady Hornet Teams play for the Tournament Championship tomorrow. At noon the JV takes on Mansfield, and at 6:00 the Varsity girls take on Sayre.
