The Morinville Community High School Sr. Girls were defeated 56-31 by a team of school alumni on Thursday. Although the Sr. Girls led the first quarter 10-9, the alumni reversed that to a 25-18 lead in their favour by the half.
That gap increased to 41-28 after three quarters, and 56-31 at the end of the day.
