On Tuesday, Dec. 8, the Seneca girls basketball team got in over their heads, when the visiting Highland Cardinals ran over the Indians 74-34.

“We were no real match for them last night,” coach Redman said. “They are a much more aggressive and experienced team than us and converted many of our turnovers into baskets early on.  We were never able to close the gap and they had a strong second half too.”
