Lady Hornets Win Opening Night Thriller Over Bradley
Blevins- The 2025-2026 basketball season for the Blevins Lady Hornets started off with a bang Tuesday night against the Lady Bears from Bradley, with an impressive 68-65. Trailing by a 4 points with under 3 minutes remaining in the game, the Lady Hornets displayed a lot of resiliency in their season opener, never wavering, and coming away with the win at the end. "Proud of the girls man, they fought and kept on fighting, really proud of them, crowd was electric, I'm back home so it feels great," Coach Tank Woodley said on the win and the fight his team showed all game Tuesday night. 

Majesty Manning and R'Moni Jamerson combined for 48 points, with Manning scoring 25 and Jamerson scoring 23. R'Moni was also in double-figures in rebounds. Manning had her full arsenal on display, knocking down some step-back 3's, and also getting to the rim and finishing. Kentana Williamson scored 11 points, but 8 of her points came in the 4th quarter, as Williamson scored some big time buckets for Blevins. Makiyah Manning added 6 points, Neveah Johnson had 2 points, and Zaniyah Scott chipped in 1 point. 

The atmosphere was great, as the crowd showed up for opening night and the Lady Hornets put on a show to start the season with a 1-0 record. They will host Emerson on Thursday.
