Girls BB: Hugoton now on top of GWAC after D leads way

The Hugoton High girls basketball squad is in a position in which, when you look at the Class 3A Rankings, you may be surprised to know that neither Top-10 teams Scott Community and Colby are at the top of the Great West Activities Conference standings.

The Lady Eagles (12-4) moved into at least a share of first place in the GWAC thanks to holding Goodland to just 15 points in the first three quarters in a 44-29 win over the Cowgirls on Friday.

The Hamlins were leading the way again - Mikyn Hamlin scored 13 and McKenna Hamlin added 12 for Hugoton.

Goodland (8-9) was paced by their top scorer, Taige Weeter, who scored a game-high 16 points.
