Playoffs
What looked as if it could be a scary situation after North Lake’s 32-29, two-overtime victory over Days Creek turned out to be nothing serious.

North Lake athletic director Paula Forman collapsed after the Cowboys’ win in the first round of the OSAA girls basketball playoffs in Silver Lake, but coach Traci Fivecort said Forman was fine.

Fivecort said the North Lake gym was hot, and that heat exhaustion might have affected Forman.
