The Williston girls are warming up for the district tournament next week at Newberry.

The team edged Gainesville St. Francis, 64-59, last Saturday night at home.

The Devils had a 15-point lead in the second quarter, but the visitors gradually whittled it down to the final few minutes when they poulled to within four a 60-56.

Margaret Brown hit a couple of free throws with 1:40 left to make it 62-56, but St. Francis came back with a field goal and foul shot around a missed free throw by the Devils to make it 62-59.

The Williston Red Devils fell to the P.K. Yonge Blue Wave 55 - 41.

The Red Devils came out shooting early, and their shots were falling.

The Devils led 16 - 9 at the end of the first quarter. Devin Timmons had eight points in the first half and Isaac Floyd had six. But after some late second quarter baskets by the Blue Wave, Williston went into the half down by three points.
