HOT SPRINGS – The Noxon Lady Red Devils earned their first win of the season on the road last weekend, earning a 39-16 road victory against the Hot Springs Lady Savage Heat.

The Lady Red Devils built off of their early lead and went into the half with the 25-7 advantage.

The Noxon girls cooled down in the second half but were still able to maintain 14-9 edge in second half scoring for the team’s first win.

The victory moves the Lady Red Devils to 1-5 on the year.

The contributions of senior McKenna Krueger and junior Asiah Jensen proved critical for Noxon.
