Branson Battle at the Boarder Tournament
The Branson Lady Pirates hold off a late charge from Mountain Home to take a 65-64 win to take the tournament title. The Lady Pirates led most of the game but the Lady Bombers took advantage of several turnovers and took a one point lead in the final seconds only to have Branson's Taylor Foster hit a shot with less than 10 seconds left to secure the win. 

On the boys side, Lake Hamilton won the tournament after their win on Friday night. Mountain Home beat Branson Saturday 59-44 to take second place.
