The Division II girls competition at the LHSAA Indoor Track and Field Championships were as close as it could be Saturday afternoon at LSU’s Carl Maddox Fieldhouse. It was so close that St. Katharine Drexel and defending champion Academy of Sacred Heart finished tied, and shared the team title after each scored 50 points.

The McGehee Hawks were hoping the third time playing against St. Katharine Drexel might present a different outcome than the first two. However, when the teams met in the Division III quarterfinals Thursday at McMain, the Yellow Jackets' pressure defense was just as intense as they took a 46-34 victory. St. Katharine, the Division III defending state champion, advanced to the semifinals in Alexandria. Read more at the www.theadvocate.com

St. Katharine Drexel Prep was supposed to be too young to win a state championship. The Yellow Jackets, after all, didn't have any juniors or seniors in their starting lineup. But that didn't stop Terry Wilson's team from winning the division III state championship and delivering the school's first basketball championship trophy to Magazine Street. That trophy brought another honor as well. Read more on at the advocate.com
