8th grade girls win tourney opener

The eighth-grade girls basketball team opened the Scott-Mississippi conference tournament with a win on Saturday at East Prairie over Kelly 54-19.

The Eagles and the Hawks were tied 6-6 after one period.  From there, however, it was all Oran.

Coach Ethan Evans said, "We got off to another rough start and had a little foul trouble there in the first quarter. We took control some there in the second quarter but really played a fantastic second half."

Grace Davis led the way with 27 points.

Hannah Boshell and Rylee Boshell both scored eight.  Emma Priggel put in six and Hope Woodfin had five, including a trey.

As a team, they hit only 5 of 17 free throws for 29%.

With the win, the eighth-grade is now 13-1.  They will face Chaffee at 7 pm on Monday.  That game will follow the 7th-grade contest against Kelly that is scheduled for 5:45.
