The Union Grove Lady Lions made the trip to Harmony last night to try and clip the wings of the Lady Eagles and knock them out of first place in district 18-2A.  Early on, it appeared as if the Lady Lions would have that opportunity.  At the end of the first quarter, Harmony lead 13-8.  Chelsea Roberts scored 6 of the 13 points scored by the Lady Eagles in the first eight minutes of the game.  From the start of the second quarter, it was all Lady Eagles.  Roberts added 5 more points in the second quarter on her way to 11 first half points for the Lady Eagles.  Harmony held the Lady Lions to only 14 first half points and the Lady Eagles led, 23-14 at the half.  The third quarter was a little different than the first two in that the Lady Lions out scored the Lady Eagles 10-8.  Most of the Lady Lions points came from the free throw line in the third quarter as they went, 6 of 8 from the line.  At the end of three quarters, the score was Harmony 31, Union Grove 24.  As the fourth quarter got started, both Chelsea Roberts and Amber Wilburn took over for the Lady Eagles.  Roberts scored 8 of her game high 20 points in the fourth quarter, and Wilburn added 6 of her 11 points in the fourth quarter.  Together, Roberts and Wilburn out scored the Lady Lions 14-10 in the final 8 minutes.  Off the bench, Emma Bukosbe added 9 points as the Lady Eagles defeated the Lady Lions, 48-34 to keep at least a share of first place in district 18-2A.

Game two of our double header started off as a close battle.  Harmony would jump out to a 5 point lead, and the Lions would come back to tie the game up.  At the end of the first quarter, the eagles held a slim three point lead at 10-7.  The second quarter started out like the first quarter until the six and a half mark.  That is when the Harmony Eagles went on a 17-0 run to finish out the quarter as they took a 33-16 lead into the halftime locker room.  Jon Ledbetter scored 8 of his game high 16 points in the first half.  Ryan Rendon added 14 points in the first half, all in the second quarter.  The third quarter was a lot like the second quarter as the Eagles out scored the Lions 21-16.  The Eagles hit 4 three pointers by four different players in that third quarter.  In the final 8 minutes, the Lions made a slight comeback, outscoring the Eagles, 18-10, but it was to little to late as the Harmony Eagles defeated the Union Grove Lions, 64-49.  Up next for both the Lady Eagles and Eagles will be a road trip to Winona Friday evening.
