This was an excellent although abbreviated slate of games played today at Bryan Station. Some of the teams scheduled to play in the final two games could not make the trip due to hazardous road conditions. There were some excellent performances turned in today including Trish Todd and Amber Norton (Assumption), Brittney Clark (Bryan Station), Ashley Lewallen and Mandy Evans (Butler), Olivia Terry and Kandie Warford (Madison Central), Sarah Elliott (Jackson County), Brittany Pittman and Kristen Pendleton (Tates Creek), Destiny Mattingly (Woodford County), and Candyce Bingham (Manual). Although several players performing here today have been affected by the influenza bug the games were very competitive today.
