Mt. Zion has enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they'll head out on the road. They will face off against the Woodland Wolfpack at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Mt. Zion pushed their score all the way to 65 on Wednesday, but even that wasn't enough to win. They fell just short of Luella by a score of 67-65.
Woodland lost a heartbreaker when they last took the court, but unfortunately for them the loss they were handed on on Tuesday was a bit more commanding. They were beaten by Pace Academy 70-40.
