Rossville Girls Win Irish Classic Tourney

    The Rossville girls are a force to be reckoned with.  Especially at the Free Throw line.   The Lady Dawgs swept the Irish Classic with wins over Bishop Ward, Sacred Heart and Chapman, the last being an exciting closely fought contest which the Rossville girls won with excellent shooting in the 4th quarter.    The lead changed hands several times,  but the Rossville girls know how to finish a game and are now 3-0 for the season.
