Medomak Valley girls’ basketball picked up wins over Camden and Oak Hill this week to improve their record to 13-4. The Lady Panthers’ KVAC season finale is at Lincoln Academy on Feb. 4.

The Panthers answered the threat with a run of seven points, including sinking five of five free throws. Medomak went into the final period with a 30-21 lead, then scored the first six points of the 4th on two hoops from Ericka Christensen and a basket from Alanna Vose to open up a 15-point lead. Oak Hill cut the lead to nine, before Medomak gathered another run of seven late in the game saw to boost their lead to 16.
