BOLIVAR — They’re back.

After losing in the Class 3 quarterfinal round last year, the Strafford girls secured their spot in the semifinal round with a 51-43 victory over Licking.

“It’s the best feeling in the world honestly,” junior guard Laney Humble said.

It was a tough, physical and intense game from the first whistle to the last. The first half had a total of 26 fouls called and the second half had 25 with a lot of hard fouls.
