Earlier this evening, the PHS Dragonettes varsity basketball team hosted the River Ridge Lady Knights in day 2 of the Pickens Holiday Classic. Nettes’ looked to bounce back after dropping one last night to Creekview.

The 3rd quarter started off slowly. The Lady Knights outscored Pickens by 10, 17-7 in the 3rd to take a 49-25 lead heading to the 4th. The 4th was the closest quarter since the 1st in terms of scoring. River Ridge barely outscored the Nettes’ 12-7 in the frame to seal a 61-32 win.

Torie Williams: 10 points, & 6 rebounds
