The junior varsity Yellow Jacket basketball team was riding a wave of momentum when they faced off with Murphy Friday, Feb. 5 in The Hive. In a very physical match-up the Bulldogs managed to eek out a win, 44-41.
On Saturday, Feb. 6 Hayesville hosted Robbinsville for a make-up game after snow had postponed the event earlier in the week. The Jackets again found themselves in a close one, eventually coming out on the losing end of a 53- 49 score.
A trip to Cherokee Friday, Feb. 12 to face the Braves now awaits Hayesville. On Tuesday, Feb. 16 the team will be on their home court for the final time this season. Both games are scheduled for 5 p.m. starts and can be seen on the “Clay County Schools” YouTube channel.
