High school basketball makes up the local Tuesday schedule as Mountain Home has its last road trip of the regular season. The Bombers and Lady Bombers will spend the evening at Searcy.
Mountain Home’s girls are tied for third place in the 5A-East with Paragould as they are 15-10 on the season and 7-5 in conference play following a nine-point loss to Nettleton. Searcy is 4-21 and 0-12 after losing to Jonesboro on Friday. The Lady Bombers invoked the mercy rule when they beat up on the Lady Lions 66-35 on January 22.
