When it comes to regular season crowns, Hennessey has been king of the Three Rivers Conference. Cashion finally found a way to dethrone the Eagles last week. T.J. Roberts’ putback with four seconds left in overtime helped propel Cashion to a 44-42 victory Wednesday at Hennessey.

Last Friday had the potential to be a banner night for Lomega’s Adysen Wilson. The junior was sitting 16 points shy of 1,000 career points, an attainable number since she averages around 20. However, Wilson realized on the way to Drummond that she’d taken the wrong jersey.

Crescent standout Elizabeth Battelo saw limited action Tuesday, but still reached a career milestone. The junior point guard scored five points before “tweaking” her knee in the first half at Calumet.

Two of the seven state FFA officers for 2020-21 could be Lomega FFA members. Tate Ott and Whitney Glazier were selected from a field of 33 candidates as finalists for the offices of northwest area vice president and reporter, respectively, the state organization announced last week.
