FC, Hughes teams set for holiday tournaments
By FRED CONLEY
T-H Sports Editor
Both the Forrest City Mustangs and Lady Mustangs continue to
work through light practices this week even though school is officially
out for the holiday break.
Both teams have holiday tournament appearances scheduled which
dictates the practice sessions.
The Lady Mustangs are playing in the Lady Cat Classic at Conway
for the second straight year.
Last year, Sue Jayroe's Lady Mustangs went 0-3 at the tournament,
losing to Conway, Rogers and Watson Chapel.
The Forrest City girls will get a rematch against Watson Chapel
on Saturday, when the two teams tip at 4 p.m.
A loss brings the Lady Mustangs back on Monday, Dec. 29, to
face Bryant or Norman, Oklahoma at 4 p.m., while a win brings
the team back at 7 p.m.
The Mustangs, coming off one of the team's worst efforts of
the year on Saturday, a 71-46 loss to Marianna, will try to regroup
in time to take on Hughes in the first round of the Seminole Classic
at Osceola on Saturday. The two teams will tip at 2 p.m.
A win over Hughes will put the Mustangs against the Crawfordsville-West
Helena winner, Monday at 6:30 p.m.
Meanwhile, the Hughes Blue Devils and Lady Blue Devils changed
their holiday plans this year. Both teams opted not to return
to the Northeast Arkansas (NEA) Tournament. Instead, both teams
will play in the Seminole Classic at Osceola.
The Blue Devils face Forrest City on Saturday while the Lady
Blue Devils will play Crawfordsville, Friday, at 6:30 p.m.
