In Tuesday night junior high basketball action, the Nevada Lady Tiger seventh-grade "A" team dropped a 24-22 heartbreaker to host Webb City. A Nevada jumper that would have tied the game, rolled off the rim as time expired.

"I'm so proud of the girls and how hard they played," Lady Tigers head coach Danny Penn said. "They played through adversity (and) scoring table errors, and never quit."

Nevada is now 2-2 overall.

"Even though we lost, we made major strides forward," Penn said. "I'm so excited for our potential as I see us getting better every day. They should all hold their heads high after tonight's effort."
