JUNCTION CITY – A week’s hiatus didn’t seem to bother Junction City, as the Dragons downed Spring Hill 60-38 in their return to the floor on Tuesday night.

The Dragons led 10-6 at the end of the first quarter before breaking the game open in the second period to take a 33-12 lead at intermission.
Junction City led 48-25 at the end of the third quarter.

Lake Village 54,
Smackover 43
LAKE VILLAGE – D’Kylan Hildreth had 15 points and Dayton Grant had nine points for the Bucks, who were locked in a 26-all tie at halftime before Lake Village pulled away in the second half.
“They just made a run in the fourth quarter on us,” said Smackover coach Caleb Spradlin. “We hadn't played a game in 14 days and we still had a couple of key guys out due to COVID protocol so our six-man rotation just ran out of gas late in the game.”
The Bucks have several games to make up, starting with a home game against Harmony Grove on Thursday with the action set to start at 5 p.m.
