The 7th grade girls played great basketball against Plank Tuesday night. In the first game, the girls played tenacious defense leading to several baskets as they won by a final score of 16-14. McKayla Robinson led the girls with 6 points. Aubrey Pleva and Ashlynn Roberts each scored 4 and Halima Smith added a basket. The girls played hard in the second game but a last second basket did them in. The girls play against Traughber Thursday night
