Pike Liberal Arts Academy traveled to Greenville on Nov. 30, and got politely spanked, as both the Eagles and the Lady Eagles showed them what it was like to play on their own &uot;new&uot; home court surface.

First the girls played, with Meredith Moseley and Marcey Adams showing the way. Mosely scored 10 points, and Adams had 10 rebounds. The final score was Fort Dale 30, Pike Lib 25.

The Lady Eagles had a record at this point of 3-2.
