West Side MK Team survives tough battle with LR Hall

In a match that was tight throughout, the West Side Mario Kart team was able to outlast a tough Little Rock Hall-West squad, 2-1, on Thursday. It was apparent early that this was going to be a dogfight, when the first round ended in a 78-78 tie, forcing a tiebreaker race, which Hall won 21-18. West Side was able to take the next two rounds (86-70, 79-77) to earn the hard-fought win. Multiple first-place finishes by Brooklynn Stephenson and Ramon Hernandez powered the Eagles to the victory.
