The WSMS basketball girls played at Houston last night. The 7th grade Bears lost 17-31, possibly payback from Houston for their embarrassing loss to the 7th grade Bears at last week’s Mountain Grove tournament. The 8th grade girls won 34-29 , holding on even after a strong 4th quarter surge from the Lady Tigers.

“Several players hit some big shots and made freethrows to help seal the win,” said Coach Valarie Jackson. Below is a picture of the 8th grade team taken after their third place win in the Mountain Grove tournament last week.

The next game for the WSMS basketball girls will be at Willow against Cabool Thursday evening.
