The 8th grade Lady Squires traveled the short distance south to take on Northfield tonight. The girls played extremely well but still found themselves down by 5 points at halftime. The girls then outscored Northfield 7-2 in the 3rd quarter to tie the game with momentum on our side! The score stayed close in the 4th quarter, but Northfield made a few more plays down the stretch to close out the game. The girls are competing very well against good teams and still learning how to finish games. Keep working girls!
