Neighboring parish schools, Saline and Cedar Creek, invaded Jackson Parish on Tuesday to take three of the four games played against Jonesboro-Hodge and Quitman, respectively, while Weston swept Grant High, the biggest school WHS will play this year 

Tuesday Tilts

Quitman 79 Cedar Creek 44: (boys) – The Wolverines protected their #3 ranking in Class B in fine style as Taden Thomas, fresh off being named the Downs Law Firm Player of the Week, poured in a career high 32 points to lead Quitman to their 11th victory in a row. The victory improved QHS to an area-best 15-4 on the year, while Cedar Creek continued their post-Christmas holiday slide to lose their fifth straight and see their record drop to 7-12 on the season. Brayden Martin and Brayden Smith both reached “double digits” as well, tallying 14 points apiece. Abel Leach also had a fine game chipping in with 6 points and a team high 10 rebounds. 

Weston 62 Grant 45: (boys) –  A strong all-around team effort helped Weston outscore the Division II school in all four quarters that lifted the Wolves to 9-12 on the year, equaling the win total from all of last year. Brody Tidwell led the way with 12 points with Abram Toms and Ty Henderson chipping in with 11 points each. Just two points behind was Malachi Harris with 9 followed closely by by Aiden Faulkner nad Gunner Younse who finished with 8 points apiece. Eli Henderson added three free throws. 

Saline 63 JHHS 59 (OT): (boys) – Eli Ferguson scored all but four of his game-high 26 points in the second half, and Gavin Dailey made 7 of his 20 points in overtime as Saline outscored the Tigers 8-0 in the extra frame to take the victory. With their third win in a row and second in two days, the Bobcats won their third straight and fifth of the six games played in 2026 to improve to 14-10 on the year. JHHS lost its third in a row to fall to 3-16 overall. King Campbell led the Tigers with 17 points, followed by Lon’Trevious Burns and Dylan Hayes with 11 points each.

Weston 50 Grant 44: (girls) – With the Lady Wolves trailing 35-31 late in the third quarter, Kate Keiffer, who led Weston in scoring with 13 points, made four straight free throws and added a basket to lift WHS to a 37-35 lead that was never relinquished in the impressive victory over the Division II foe.  With rebounds fairly equal at 33-30 in Weston’s favor and both teams committing 22 turnovers, it was at the free throw line that was the difference, with Weston making 24 of 38 compared to Grant going 4-8 from the charity stripe. Carly Jo Griffin also reached double figures in scoring with 10, while Gracie Gray and Teegan Hall scored six points each, as did Rachel Bandy, who also pulled down a team high 10 boards. Weston improved to 13-7 on the year and made a big jump to #10 in the Class B power ratings while Grant fell to 7-5 overall. 

Cedar Creek 46 Quitman 36 (girls) – The home gym was unkind to the Lady Wolverines, who managed to make only 13 of 50 shots to fall to the 2nd-ranked team in Division IV among “select” schools. Allie Robertson and Anna Claire Leach, who passed the 1000 career points milestone this past Friday, both made four shots to score 13 and 12 points, respectively, while Taylor Borland finished with five. Hallie Kate Pullig led Quitman in rebounding with 8 boards. The loss dropped the Lady Wolverines to 13-7 on the year and snapped a three-game winning streak. 

Saline 33 JHHS 28: (girls) – The Lady Bobcats won their second straight to even their mark at 12-12 and complete the season sweep over Jonesboro-Hodge, which fell to 9-12 and now has lost two in a row after winning five straight. No individual scoring was reported.
