The girls team went 2-1 in the tournament. The Lady Spartans won their opening round game last Saturday, as they defeated Pell City, 74-38. They suffered defeat at the hands of Central-Tuscaloosa, 60-53, on Monday, but rebounded with a 60-41 win over Vestavia Hills on Tuesday in the third-place game, as the Lady Spartans now sit at 5-1 on the year.

The boys team traveled to Atlanta over the weekend for the Holiday Hoopsgiving Classic. The Spartans improved to 6-0 on the year with a 79-62 win over Norcross and a 59-45 victory over Langston Hughes.
