quarters to rally and knock off the Broncos of Lee Summit North 40-37.
…After a sluggish beginning in the 1st quarter the Rockhurst Hawklets
(23-3) with their hands filled with the upstart Hickman Mills team right
on their tail at 19-17, the Hawklets recorded a 16-4 2nd quarter to begin
cruising to their 59-43 win.
…Mehlville Girls (27-1) dominated the 1st quarter and led at one point
20-2 over their intra-district rival, Oakville Tigers. Oakville kept battling,
clawing into that lead and actually cut it to a mere 6 points early in the
4th quarter. Mehlville fought off the challenge and won by 50-38 (the 3rd
time this year that the Panthers beat the Tigers).Listen to this replay
