Duvalls fuel blowout of CAI, 69-9
Coming off of a disappointing loss the night before in the Rivertown Classic championship game, Switzerland County Lady Pacer head coach Mark Boggs and his troops didn’t take long to shake off the after effects, hosting Christian Academy of Indiana in a Saturday matinee and winning by a lopsided score of 69-9.
It was over early, as the Lady Pacer outscored their guests 17-0 in the opening eight minutes.
