The seventh-grade Lady Mules traveled to Littlefield and defeated the Lady Cats 24-10 Monday afternoon.

“This was our first game back from the Christmas break,” said Lady Mule coach, Jalissa King. “We had 13 turnovers and only shot 20 percent from the blocks. But we managed to overcome this with some impressive non-shooting statistics.”

Littlefield outscored the Lady Mules 8-2 in the first half. Both teams scored eight points each in the second half.
