The ball continues for Lady Hawks

Mar. 9—MURFREESBORO — Joseph Simmons was in his first weeks as Green Hill's girls basketball coach when he took his new team to camp at Middle Tennessee State last June.

A fire alarm prompted an evacuation of Murphy Center. The Murfreesboro Fire Department was called but the alarm turned out to be false and the teams were allowed back inside after a few minutes.

The Lady Hawks returned to the Glass House on Tuesday and, though the game could hardly be described as a barn burner, their 55-45 win over Clarksville insured they will be allowed back inside the Monte Hale/Jimmy Earle Arena for the state semifinals Friday morning.
