    Hayesville Middle School ladies fell to Andrews 35-27 in the first round of the Smoky Mountain Conference Tournament on Saturday, Jan. 14. According to coach Tammy Dills, “We came out flat and never could get in the groove of the game. Andrews got hot from behind the three and we struggled from the floor and charity stripe, which contributed to the loss.
