After all, they were down to 8 players on theRead More →

The Creek Wood Lady Red Hawks took a tough loss at resurgent East Hickman on Thursday night, one that could cost them a number one seed in the district tournament unless Lewis County stumbles down the stretch.

The East Hickman girls started out red hot. Creek Wood took a 2-0 lead off a pair of Lydia Edmondson free throws, but a Tatum Gribbins three give the Lady Eagles a lead they would never relinquish.
