BEAUMONT, Texas — It was busy night of high school hoops in the 409 with some big time matchups across the area.
Beaumont United, currently ranked second in Class 5A, took on an Atascocita team ranked fifth in 6A.
Thought the Timberwolves led by double-digits multiple times, the Eagles refused to go away.
When the dust settled, Beaumont United came out on top 70-64.
Meanwhile in Sour Lake, Hardin-Jefferson and Big Sandy came together for something bigger than sports.
The traditional powers played a Cancer Awareness Game to raise money for an organization known as Gift Cards for My Peeps.
The son of HJ Head Coach Clay Davis is currently fighting his own battle, and coach found out first hand how important a support system can be.
Before the game even tipped off, over eight thousand dollars was raised.
The organization provides gift cards for families while their loved ones are undergoing treatment.
