Seniors hit floor one last time

    Area teammates are getting one last chance to play together as summer all-star games continue.
    Saturday, Chase County’s Liz Reeves and Bryn McNair, along with Wauneta-Palisade’s Halle Bardsley and Cali Cox, represented their schools on the West team at the Wild West All-Star Classic at McCook Community College.
    After the East won the first set 26-24, the West team claimed the second set 25-21. The final two sets went the East’s way, 25-14, 25-19.
