WROY/WRUL Local Sports Recap
The Carmi-White County Girls Basketball team defeated Flora last night on the road by a final score of 44-43.
The Lady Bulldogs trailed by 9 in the 4th quarter, but they were able to climb all the way back, tying the game with under a minute left. Flora had the ball and a chance to win in the final seconds but a costly turnover gave Carmi a chance to win it.
