Here is a rundown of those two games played.
Sacred Heart
vs. North Caddo

The Lady Trojans finish the year with an overall record of 15-11.
Basile vs. Homer
A tremendous season under the leadership of first year head coach Carmen Langley came to a close Monday night in Basile, as the Lady Bearcats fell to Homer High School 54-40.
It was a tale of two halves for Basile. The Lady Bearcats dominated the first half, outscoring Homer 25-14 and felt good about their game plan.
The third quarter was tight, with Homer outpacing Basile 12-10.
