The Lady Hornets were off to a strong start in the conference with a 24-15 win over LSA on March 26. Amaryiah Banda led the Hornets with 12 points and Chloe Fowler and Lilly Kurtz each added six points. 

Eighth Grade
The eighth grade Lady Hornets also claimed victory on April 26, defeating Tri-County 35-10. Ava Boyer led the ladies with thirteen points, Lia Patterson contributed six, Emily Veach and Taylor Gordon each added four, and Ava Boyer, Rylie Vanausdoll, Carly Ochs, and Olivia Wallace each had two points. 

On the game, Coach Pugh said, “Both seventh and eighth grade are 2-0 in the conference. Both teams played well, but did not play as aggressive as they did in the first game. Most of the girls are playing basketball and are participating in track and field. This makes it hard to work on aspects of the game in practice, but the girls are really doing a great job of working hard at both sports.”
