"It was a good team win," said head coach Steve Adams.

In the girls game the Lady Hornets beat CV 16-4 in the A game and edged the Lady Indians 16-13 in the B game.

"Our girls played great defense tonight and we ran our offense against their zone pretty well, but we just couldn't make any shots (8/52)," said coach Darrell Morris. "I think once we settle in and learn to relax on those open looks, we will be a really good offensive team."
