After a rough end to their trip to the mountains before Christmas, the Hopkins County Central Lady Storm headed off to the cavelands the day after the ‘big day’ and found their mojo again. The Lady Storm used a big second quarter to grab control of the game and then finished it off with another big quarter in the third on their way to a 68-30 win over Ohio County in the Rafferty’s/Double Dogs Caveland Classic at Ohio County High School.

Hopkins County Central tightened up the defense even more in the third quarter. Ohio County could manage just three points as the Lady Storm blew the game open, taking a 62-28 lead as the quarter ended.
Reserves saw most of the action for the Lady Storm over the final eight minutes as they cruised on out to the 38-point win.
