The unbeaten East Bladen girls will travel to Wilmington Hoggard for their opening game in the Leon Brogden Holiday Tournament against the host Lady Vikings at 6 p.m. A win Thursday would send Coach Patty Evers’ Lady Eagles into a semi-final game Friday at 6 p.m. against the winner of Thursday’s game between Conway, SC and Wilmington Laney.
Both tournaments will continue Friday and Saturday.
