On Jan. 12 and 13, the Richmond varsity girls basketball team made back-to-back road trips to play in the Lawson Invitational. The Spartans fell to eventual tournament champion Chillicothe 73-13, then fell to West Platte. In facing the Hornets in the opener in the Barker Center, the Spartans faced the type of program they want to become. Here are a few images from that meeting, taken by sports editor Shawn Roney.
