Happy Valley played host to Cloudland’s Lady Jr. Highlanders on Monday night. The Lady Jr. Warriors had the better end of the battle, winning 43-31.

The Warriors pulled out to a lead, but Cloudland battled back. With 3:01 left in the second quarter, Trinity Vines got an offensive board, a putback and a foul shot to tie the score at 12. That sparked a ‘Lady Landers run.
