Another game. Another exciting finish. Another win for Hennessey. The Eagles landed within one more victory of the state tournament when they knocked off No. 10 Carnegie 54-51 last Saturday in their 2A regional championship at Hinton.

Cashion’s run of state tournament appearances has ended at four. The Lady Wildcats were defeated 51-42 by Carnegie in last Friday’s 2A regional consolation semifinal at Hinton. Cashion was led by Neeley Bedick’s 15 points. Brook Shelly added 11 and Kaitin Taylor six.
