The Elkton Elks whittled down Yoncalla's 10-point lead to as little as two midway through the third quarter, but the Lady Eagles held on and pulled away in the fourth for a 39-27 win in a Skyline League girls basketball playoff Tuesday at Umpqua Valley Christian School in Dixonville. With the win, the Eagles (17-7 overall) essentially broke a first-place tie against league co-champion rival Elkton (16-7) and will head to the state playoffs as the top seed from the conference.
