• The La Grange girls basketball team improved to 7-0 with a 59-30 victory Tuesday at Taylor. The Lady Leps play this weekend at the Schmeckkenfest Tournament starting Thursday versus Mason at 11:45 a.m. at Hermes Gym 2.

The La Grange boys basketball team has gotten off to a hot start this season, and the five senior members on the team are all contributing in special ways. Two are starters (Cole Collier and Mason Kleiber), two are supportive reserves (Scott Davis and Caleb Stokes) and the final senior, Oliver Gunn, has turned a season-ending football injury into a basketball coaching role with the team.

La Grange High School graduate Jena Jobb’s sophomore season playing volleyball for Hannibal-LaGrange University in Missouri was cut short because of an injury, but still resulted on her getting elected as a team captain.
