The Hillsoro Lady Indians took a road loss Wednesday night at Lees Creek against the East Clinton Lady Astros, who took the win with a final score of 50-23.

With a three pointer in the final seconds of the period, East Clinton had already left Hillsboro in an 18-point deficit by the end of the first quarter, 22-4. Peterman and Lilly both had 9 in the opener.

East Clinton maintained a steady lead in the second quarter, outscoring the Indians 7-5. By the end of the first half, Hillsboro was facing a 29-9 deficit.
