The Rhea County High School basketball teams traveled to
Sweetwater and put their unblemished records on the line in this young season and came away with a
clean sweep as the Lady Eagles handled the Lady Wildcats 45-26, while the Eagles dismantled the
Wildcats 51-23 on Tuesday.
“We came with a high level of energy at the very beginning tonight
and that enabled us to build a nice lead at halftime,” said Lady Eagles' head coach Shane
Johnston. “But, credit Sweetwater for playing hard the whole game and keeping it interesting
in the second half.”
