The Henry County lady Cats traveled to Grant County on March 5 to take on the Oldham County Lady Colonels in the first round of the 8th Region basketball tournament and lost 63-32.

The Lady Cats got off to a slow start, falling behind 6-1 with Cheyenne Clark providing the only point in the first four minutes of the game. But the Lady Cats’ strong defense kept them close until Kim Barmore scored on an inside move and was fouled. Her three-point play made it 6-4 with 3:54 left in the first period.
