The La Harpe-Dallas City 8th Grade Girls basketball team claimed the regional title Monday, December 8, with a 38–10 victory over Galva.
The Eagles’ stifling defense made it difficult for the Wildcats, forcing 37 turnovers and allowing only 4 field goals.
LH-DC jumped out to a 13–3 first-quarter lead. Galva cut it to 13–7 in the second quarter, but the Eagle defense wouldn’t allow another Galva field goal until fewer than three minutes remained in the game and the Eagles pulled away in the second half.
Journey Miller led the way for LH-DC with 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 steals. Kinley Thompson finished the night with 8 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 steals, while Alex Miller chipped in 7 points.
The 21–2 Eagles will face La Salle St. Acutis on Wednesday, December 10, in La Harpe for a chance to advance to the State Tournament in Clinton on Saturday, December 13.
