  • Demons fall to Simon Kenton

    After a last minute loss to Walton-Verona, the Williamstown Demons were looking to get a district win at Simon Kenton.

    Unfortunately, the Demons lost the game in the final minute, falling 83-72.

    “I’m really happy with our effort,” coach Stacey May said. “We could have shot the ball better. But they did a good job of taking our high/low offense away. They gave us open shots, but we just couldn’t knock them down.”
