MOORESVILLE GIRLS JV BASKETBALL WRITE-UP The Lady Pioneers JV team hosted the Lady Hawks from Decatur Central tonight for their fourth Mid-State Conference game in a row.

The JV game tonight is part of five boys and girls games between the two schools played tonight within the Curry Center and the Pioneer Pavilion. Last season, the Lady Hawks and Lady Pioneers JV teams had to cancel their scheduled game when an attempted dunk during the JV Boys game dislodged the rim from the backboard and the rim wasn’t able to be repaired in time to complete the JV girls game. The Pioneers did defeat the Lady Hawks back in 2023, 48-16. The Lady Pioneers JV jumped out to another strong first half lead at 17-0.
