Hot Springs- The Jr. Lady Saints began their quest back in October for a return trip to the State Finals. With a very impressive 48-20 win on Tuesday, they are now only one win away from the State Championship, as they host Trinity Christian on Thursday night in the semis. After the game Heaven Garcia caught up with Lady Saints guard Abby Mendoza, "Feels good to win, we worked good together and hopefully we make it to the championship."

The Jr. Lady Saints began the game on a great run, as they jumped out to a big lead early and carried a big lead into the break.
