Lady Trojans blow past ASH; Demons slip by Lake Arthur

It was a substantial night for two of the parish basketball teams, as the Sacred Heart Lady Trojans and the Mamou Demons both picked up huge district wins.
Sacred Heart hosted the Academy of the Sacred Heart Lady Firebirds in hopes of remaining in second place in District 5-2A, on game out the league lead.
The Lady Trojans did more than just pick up a win, they totally dominated the Lady Firebirds in a 52-10 blowout. With Tuesday’s victory, Sacred Heart is now 10-11 on the year and 3-1 in district play.
