The weekend proved very fruitful for the Lady Wolverines who won three games at the prestigious Acadiana Tournament in Broussard. Included was wins over a Class 4A school, the #5 ranked team in Division IV among “non select” schools and a victory over defending Class B state champion Holden. The “three peat” improved Quitman’s record to 5-4 against one of the hardest schedules in the state and vaulted QHs to #9 in the Division V rankings.  Meanwhile Weston continued to give up heavy doses or runs in their two losses in the Choudrant tourney to fall to 1-6 on the year.
