LAQUEY— For the fourth time this season, and for the second time in a week, the Laquey Hornets and Stoutland Tigers will battle. Only this time, it will be for the Class 2 District 8 championship.
Both teams won Thursday night to set up the epic rematch tonight at Laquey High School.
Top seeded Stoutland dominated fourth-seeded Newburg 72-51, while second-seeded Laquey sweated out a 53-48 win over third-seeded Plato.

LAQUEY— One point. Look at the stat sheet— surely, that’s a misprint.
But no, it’s exactly correct: The Crocker Lady Lions only scored a single point in the second quarter against Laquey in their 40-35 win Thursday night.
Poor shooting and rebounding made the second quarter of an already excruciating first half even worse. Nothing seemed to be going right.
So how did the Lady Lions respond to that bad quarter? Anger? Frustration?
None of those.
“No, we knew we could do it,” junior guard Ashley Bogle said. “We just had to get out there and prove it.”
Crocker 87, Richland 81
