N a slow-paced, low-scoring affair, the Hickman Kewpies got it done on offense when it mattered to grab the title of the Jefferson Bank Holiday Hoops Classic with a 41-30 victory Friday night against the Jefferson City Lady Jays at Capital City High School.
The win gives the Kewpies their third Classic title and first since 2014.
A tough midseason challenge. The Capital City Lady Cavaliers are set to host the Jefferson Bank Holiday Hoops Classic, which tips off at 2:30 p.m. today. The Lady Cavaliers (2-7) will play the final game of the day, taking on the St. Joseph Benton Lady Cardinals at 7 p.m.
Last season, the Helias Lady Crusaders used the Jefferson Bank Holiday Hoops Classic as a springboard to the Class 4 Final Four. This season, the Lady Crusaders are looking to use the Classic as a chance to continue a great start.
The Capital City offense went quiet late. The Lady Cavaliers came back from a third-quarter deficit to take a fourth-quarter lead, but were unable to hold on as the Eldon Lady Mustangs beat Capital City 53-50 at Capital City High School on Tuesday.
