District 1-3A had a good night on the hardwood, as Wossman, Carroll and Richwood advanced to quarterfinal matchups Tuesday night.
No. 1 Wossman protected its home floor with an 82-54 victory over No. 16 Abbeville in the Nonselect Division II bracket.
Jordan Comanche led the squad with 24 points and eight rebounds, while Travis Lynch and Antron Mason II each provided 17 points in the victory. Lynch posted a double-double with 10 rebounds.
The Wildcats will host No. 8 Franklin Parish in a quarterfinal matchup Friday.
On the other side of that bracket, No. 3 Carroll flexed on No. 19 Beau Chene in a 62-44 Tuesday night affair.
“It was a great team win,” Carroll head coach Terrance Henry said. “We were anxious coming into the game. We haven’t played in 11 days, so 11 days of practice has been brutal. It’s like going into the preseason. We’ve been playing so much against each other that we’ve been ready to come out and play against somebody else.”
