Both Jackson Parish schools were on the road Tuesday evening with both the girls and boys teams from Weston coming home victorious from Calvin and Quitman splitting four games at Choudrant.
Girls Games
Weston 21 Calvin 16: It was the “Carly” show for the Lady Wolves as in Carly Jo Griffin and Carlynn Waters, who scored all but four of Weston’s points. Griffin led the way with 10 points all in the first half on the strength of a pair of three pointers that helped pace Weston to a 14-7 lead. Waters would add 7, including four of Weston’s 7 second half points. Keely Davis tallied two and Ada-Claire Tidwell chipped in with a free throw to round out the locals scoring. Weston climbed to 12-5 this season with the hard fought win.

Ella Simonelli added six, Kynleigh Leach four, Bella Caskey hit a three pointer and Amelia Stagss tallied tow as Quitman allowed Choudrant to score 7 points in the first quarter before shutting out the home team the rest of the way.
Quitman 37 Choudrant 19: Allie Robertson poured in 16 points to lead 8 Quitman players who scored after being shut out in the first quarter.
