It was a busy two days for the West High basketball teams. On Friday night, the girls tipped off at home against Cedar Rapids Jefferson while the boys traveled to Cedar Rapids where they also played the J-Hawks.

At home, the girls took the lead early, leading 25-18 after the first quarter. They never gave the lead up, and although the game got down to a slim six points with only a few minutes left, the girls were able to come away with the 65-56 victory. Maddie Huinker ‘17 led the Women of Troy with 22 points, all of which came in the first half.
