SHS and WW Claim Sectional Crowns

The Lady Lions and Lady Senatots pose with their new trophies.

It was a good night for girls basketball in Washington County as two sectional championships were claimed and another team advanced to the championship game. Both Salem and West Washington won their respective championships while Eastern advanced to their sectional championship.

West Washington bested Trinity Lutheran with a dominating performance to beat the Cougars 59-35. West Washingont layed a haymaker to Trinity in the first quarter and the Cougars never got up off the mat as the Senators cruised to the win.

Salem had a shootout with Brownstown that saw the Lady Lions pull away late in the fourth quarter to win 59-50 to claim their second sectional championship in a row.

Eastern won an overtime thriller over Paoli 46-42 to advance to their sectional championship game. They will play Crawford County on Monday night at 7 p.m. at Eastern to try and make it three sectional championships for Washington County.
