SCBL play…

With the South-Central Border League Tournament having just been played, most Sumner County teams elected not to play the Tuesday after. Argonia and Udall were the exceptions.

Argonia girls beat Udall 40-34 (despite what the Wichita Eagle says). The Red Raiders are still without one of their leading scorers, Jaci Peetom, who was injured over the holidays.

Udall opened with a 12-9 first quarter lead, but Argonia used a 15-4 output in the second quarter to lead 24-16 at the half. The Red Raiders doubled Udall in the third with a 10-5 output to lead 32-21 in the fourth. The Eagles made a furious comeback in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Red Raiders 19-12, but the comeback fell short.

Haylea Hessman was the leading scorer with 17 points. Faith Gaddie had 14.

The Argonia boys had no luck with Udall in the follow-up game.
