The high school basketball season ramps up — and the stakes ratchet up — with Lowco squads beginning region play, resulting in a wealth of Lowco-on-Lowco matchups that will help sort the pecking order. Plus, key region wrestling duals and two weekend tournaments — the Bluffton Bobcat Duals and the Area 9 state qualifier for JV and middle school wrestlers.
Here’s what we’re tracking this week on the LowcoSports scene. Tune in to the LowcoSports Lowdown LIVE on the Lowco Media Network every weeknight at or around 9:30pm for in-depth LOCAL sports news and analysis!
