HOT SPRINGS – Hot Springs’ Lady Savage Heat had two games last week, facing off against Two Eagle River and Arlee.

When they played Two Eagle, the Hot Springs girls fought hard but an early burst ahead led to the Lady Eagles coming away victorious.

The half ended with a score of 18-40 to Two Eagle.

In the second half, the Hot Springs girls rallied and advanced their score while keeping the opposition back. The girls also brought a stronger offense and improved their standing. Two Eagle’s early lead was too much, though, and the game closed with a final score of 45-73.
