KAPLAN - North Vermilion head coach Casey Meador did not want to say that the Lady Patriots just won the District 8-3A title after beating Kaplan 44-39 on Friday.
The Lady Patriots improved to 8-0 in the district with three district games remaining. The KHS Lady Pirates dropped to 7-2 in district and 18-11 overall.
“We are in the driver’s seat, but, I don’t want to become too complaisant by talking about being district champions. We can slip up.”
NV has Erath, Abbeville, and Patterson remaining on its schedule.
