California eighth grade girls win Eldon Tourney

The California Middle School eighth grade girls basketball team participated in the Eldon Tournament Jan. 17-21, where the Lady Pintos secured the tourney title after capturing a 45-27 win against Eldon in the championship game Saturday.

"The girls had a hard time settling down in the championship game," California Coach Jennifer Porter said. "This made them have to play a little harder to pull out the win, but overall they played well during the tournament to win first place."
