Green Wave headed to Lee, AR and Bayou this week

The North Delta School Lady Green Wave gave veteran head basketball coach Frank Miller a successful homecoming Thursday, Nov. 10, with a 32-21 win over Tunica Academy in a low-scoring defensive contest.

The Junior High boys and girls completed the sweep with victories. The North Delta varsity boys did not play due to Tunica still participating  in the football playoffs.

On Monday, Nov. 14, at home, the Green Wave took three of four games over visiting Indianola Academy. Both varsity teams came away with wins as the Lady Wave improved to 4-2 with a 42-17 victory while the boys picked up their first win of the year with a 50-46 verdict.

The Junior High Wave split their games with the girls claiming a 45-9 win with the boys falling 32-18.

North Delta began a four-game road swing Tuesday, Nov.15, at Lee, AR, before traveling to Bayou Academy in Cleveland Thursday.

The Green Wave returns home Dec.4 against The Regents School.
