Hawthorne Hoops
The boys and Greg Bowie will face P.K. Yonge tonight. This team has finally got things going after winter break. Bowie and his squad will face a team that doesn’t make a lot of mistakes. P.K. Yonge is a team that plays really well as a group. Hawthorne Hornets have a record of 18-4. In district play, they’re 8-0. That is certainly thanks to their three-star players. Kahleil Jackson, Devin Lawrence and Mikel Crawford. Crawford has put up 9 three-pointers in a single game.
Coach Bowie says his offense isn’t the only thing that’s stacked.
P.K. Yonge Girls
The waves have had a pretty successful season and hope to continue that tonight at home against Trenton. P.K. is 17-6 under Willie Powers. Trenton is 20-2. Natalyah Sampson was selected the P.K. Yonge Girls Basketball Player of the Game. This team needs a better PPG and more teamwork if they want to pull out a win against this explosive team. This game is at 5:30.
Other Girls Games
Bronson at Oak Hall could be a toss-up. Both teams are struggling, with less than 10 wins this season for each of them. With Oak Hall’s 8-13 record and Bronson’s 6-14 record, you could say the Eagles have the upper hand. This game starts at 5:30. The Buchholz Bobcats face Columbia at 6. They’re sitting at a 10-11 record. Columbia has the upper hand at 13-10. St. Francis faces Dixie county at home tonight at 6. St. Francis is 3-18, which should hand Dixie County this game. Unless they can pull a miracle. Santa Fe plays Chiefland tonight at 6. Their record is 6-12, they face a 12-9 record. And East Side will see Bradford at 7. The Rams are 13-8 and Bradford is 10-10.
