PUNXSUTAWNEY – It’s moving fast for the Punxsy girls’ basketball team. After a full week break in preparation for the playoffs in District 9, the Lady Chucks won the D-9 AAA title on Friday with a win over Moniteau and are now ready to open the state Playoffs with a game of the first round at 7pm

“Hopefully we’re ready to go,” said Punxsy head coach Mike Carlson on Monday night after the team’s last practice session before the game. “We had two good practices to get there and hope we picked up what we needed to get into the next.”

Punxsy improved to 18-0 with the 60:37 win over Moniteau in the D-9 title game on Friday, after winning 16 times in a row in the regular season and surpassing Karns City in the quarters.
