MARYVILLE — Heritage’s balance and rebounding showed up in key moments Tuesday night, helping the reigning state champion Lady Mountaineers open District 4-3A play by holding off previously unbeaten South-Doyle, 63-50.
The defending Class AAA champions weren’t perfect — and coach Rick Howard is quick to say they’re still early in their development — but their depth and work on the glass tilted the matchup as the night went on.
