After 33 years of following my alma mater, I've finally experienced in person a Shades Valley team winning a state championship ! The Lady Mounties defeated Sparkman tonight 63-49, dominating them in the fourth quarter 28-9 to overcome cold shooting in the first three quarters. Go Lady Mounties ! What a resurgence in Mountie sports !
