Girls
Pea Ridge 36, Greenland 46
Greenland grabbed an early lead and held on for a 46-36 victory over the Lady Blackhawks in 3A/4A District 1 action at the Greenland gym. Greenland led throughout after losing 51-47 in overtime at Pea Ridge earlier this season.
Pea Ridge couldn't recover after falling behind 15-4 after one quarter. The Lady Blackhawks made two baskets and took three shots in the first quarter that failed to hit the rim. Pea Ridge then made only one field goal in the third quarter when Greenland stretched its lead to 38-20.
"It's like we forgot to get off the bus," Blackhawk Heath Neal said. "They were ready to play and we weren't. But Alan's (Barton, Greenland coach) teams are always like that."
